[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vitriol to OP's question is surprising, even by DCUM standards. I'm American and think there is much room for improvement with the typical diet here. That said, there is a ton of variation with the typical American diet. But when I think what typical is defined as, I would say it includes a weekly spaghetti night, 1-2 fast food meals, and lots of casseroles; however, this may vary depending on region and socioeconomic level quite a bit. Your husband's diet sounds like it's within the range of "normal" but on the unhealthy end of the spectrum. [/quote]

Please. The OP, out of the gate, made this an "Indian culture is sooooo superior to American culture" thread. As if her husband's family is wholly representative of how ALL Americans eat and cook.

If she had said, "My husband's preferences and attitudes toward food--which seem to stem from childhood routines and habits--concerns me. He eats a lot of carb-heavy, canned, fast food instead of fresh foods cooked at home. How can I address this with him?" ...that would have inspired an entirely different body of responses.[/quote]
