[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And we work much longer hours than most European countries. And in most South American countries, household help is the norm for even middle class families. So they do rely less on convenience foods. Convenience foods are ubiquitous here because they are cheap and fast and our work/life balance is out of alignment. [/quote] Is this true? I would say that for most people I know, time is the impediment to eating healthy. With two full-time working parents, it is difficult to prepare all of your meals from scratch. Most places, 40 hours per week worked does not include lunch, meaning that most workers are outside of the home at 8 1/2 to 9 hours without a commute. We've improved our eating habits so much during the pandemic. I worry that it's not sustainable one we have to return to the office and have to deal with commutes and planning ahead for office lunches. [/quote]
