[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We eat a combination of processed and made-from-scratch meals.

Our pre-prepared ingredients include things like:
1. [b]Bread & crackers[/b]2. Yogurt
3. Applesauce
4. Dried fruits
5. Frozen veg.
6. [b]Dried pasta[/b]7. [b]Pasta sauce[/b]8. Canned beans
9. [b]Luncheon meats (salami, turkey, ham slices)[/b]10. [b]Muffins (morning glory kinds of things)[/b]11. Cheese and butter
12. Hummus
13. [b]Ice cream treat[/b]14. [b]Cookies, gummy bears, or other  treat.[/b]15. [b]Nutella[/b]16. [b]Peanut butter and jelly[/b]17. [b]Instant brown rice[/b]18. [b]Hot dogs[/b]
I call them processed, because I don't make those things at home. But I do, as much as possible, strive to get these as organic and in BPA free containers.

Our "fresh" stuff includes
1. Salad and [b]fixin's[/b]  (what are "fixin's"?  If vegetables, not processed; if croutons, processed.) 2. [b]Salad dressing[/b] (purchased salad dressings generally have lots of chemicals) 3. Dinner main-course meats
4. Vegetables
5. Fresh fruits for snacking

Gosh, look how short that list is.  :) Well, I'm just not going to be making my own bread, cheese, and sandwich spreads...[/quote]

This does not seem responsive to the question at all.  You eat mainly processed foods. [/quote]

How is this post not responsive?  Many folks have posted that they serve their kids things like cheese and applesauce and stuff, and these are on the PP's "processed" list.  I suppose the OP could take a list like this one to determine the extent to which he/she would be willing to make his/her own bread, cheese, yogurt, homemade pasta (or would using flour and salt mean it's processed?), hummous made from dried beans (or is that processed?), meat (which I suppose would mean that the animals are slaughtered and prepared from a farm in the backyard) and so on.  In addition, the PP lists the foods that are not processed (as much).

Methinks your quibble with the post might require a clearer definition on your part about why it is not "responsive."

Keep Calm. Carry On.[/quote]

"If you don't eat many processed foods..."  Assuming that the list is reflective of quantities eaten (and not really 80% meat, vegetables, and fruit and 20% a combo of the rest), much more than half of the foods consumed by pp are processed.[/quote]
