[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Um yeah OP blaming “American food” for her poor choices is ridiculous. Sorry, you’re pre-diabetic and just decided now to give a f*ck. You’re in the minority, as you pointed out. [/quote] I didn’t just woke up. I’ve been fighting this battle for years. Do you know how hard it is for your kid not to get candy and cookies at school every day of their life in America?[/quote] My kids went through public K-12 and managed to make it through without eating candy and cookies everyday. They would have these things on occasion if they went to a party or had a special event, but it certainly was not the norm. I never bought them for the home. They participated in varsity sports. We are an active family. I cooked for my family from scratch with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, meats, fish, and grains. I used plenty of spices for flavor. I make homemade pizza or Mac and cheese sometimes and a lot of ethnic foods. No one in my immediate family is overweight, obese, or prediabetic or diabetic. We are not 1-percenters. We do live close-in to DC and I notice that the further outside the beltway you get, the fatter. Once I had to stop by a store in Germantown to pick something up and I was shocked at the number of morbidly obese people shopping. It was culture shock.[/quote] I don’t believe OP about the junk food from the school on a daily basis, and I also am skeptical about the hotel breakfast. I have literally never been to a nice hotel that did not offer something like fresh fruit, cereal, and yogurt as the breakfast options. Perhaps OP was staying at a B&B with limited options, but I doubt it. It all seems kinda made up.[/quote] +1. Even at a budget hotel, you could eat fruit and cereal/oatmeal. Not great, but not terrible for a day or two.[/quote]
