[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience people who grew up poor and eating processed or quick foods don’t know how to cook or eat differently. Rather than buying large bags of potatoes and carrots that can be used in many ways for weeks, they tend to buy one meal at a time. Rather than baking dozens of muffins for cheap, they buy ready to eat foods. I think it is a lack of knowledge and experience. People eat what they know.

I grew up poor but rural poor. We had huge gardens in the summer and we ate almost my entirely home cooked food. Things that had to be bought (fruit) etc was limited. We were allowed a half a small glacé of orange juice a day for example. That way the can lasted 2-3 days for the family. Everything was measured out to be sure everyone had enough but there weren’t a lot of extras. [/quote]

Op here. That sounds right. I grew up cooking and now I can cook from scratch very well. I have plenty of disposable income, but I still cook frugally and healthily.[/quote]
