[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even at the grocery store,why is there sugar in deli meat? Why is it so hard to find an unsweetened cereal? Even Cheerios have sugar in them.  The idea that the best way to have healthy bread is to make it yourself or buy Ezekiel bread for six bucks a loaf. It is not that hard in other countries.[/quote]

Don’t buy deli meat then. I roast my own chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork or whatever for a meal. Then slice meat leftovers for sandwiches or wraps for lunch. I bake my own bread and pitas and pizza doughs. I don’t spend a lot of time doing this either. From experience, I’m pretty efficient at cooking around my work schedule.[/quote]
FFS people!! I can only assume you all are being wilfully obtuse. I'm not PP, but I'm 90% certain she wasn't looking for recommendations on deli meat alternatives but rather pointing out the ubiquity of bad food options. It shouldn't be as hard as it is. But I guess some of you are so bent on demonstrating your superiority you can't entertain the notion that there could be a better way...and that most people in other countries have access to it.[/quote]

I’m not disputing that there are a lot of bad food options. I’m just saying that are plenty of inexpensive healthy options too if you learn how to cook.[/quote]
And why aren't those inexpensive healthy food options at school? Why can't school cooks learn to cook? If parents let their kids down, why does the government?
In the old country school  cooks arrive 6 am to have freshly cooked food ready by 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. Nothing is frozen or reheated. US cannot even do it at schools. How do you expect people who work several jobs to do it at home. Get off your high horse. I hate junk food. I got fat just by looking at the food, so did my super skinny friend. She lost the weight when she returned home though. It's the food here unless you eat like a rabbit.

You're hilarious.  You accuse others of being on a "high horse" (LOL), all the while asserting that the actual responsibility for kids' eating habits fall on SCHOOL LUNCH LADIES, who should get up at 4:00AM to get to work at 6:00AM to cook for five hours, instead of the responsibility for kids' eating habits being where it actually is -- on their damn parents.

P.S.  Nobody on DCUM who has time to waste writing and respond to endless paragraphs of foolishness is "working 3 jobs," so you can shelve that excuse in this discussion.  Thanks.[/quote]
