[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the posters here are really clueless.  When you are struggling to provide 3 meals a day for your children, buying organic is NOT a priority.  When we went through difficult times during my childhood, my mom was not looking to buy $10 Rao's sauce and high end pasta.  Luckily, she was an amazing cook so we did not eat many processed goods but she scoured the sales and certainly could not afford some of the specialty items we eat today.

Many people here seem unaware of the dynamics of a poor family.  Often there are single family households and no money for child care so the older siblings care for the younger ones.  When my mother worked late, I often had to prepare dinner for my younger siblings.  I certainly had no clue how to turn beans into a meal when I was 10 years old.  So, yes I think canned goods in general are easier to prepare for children responsible for dinner.  With that being said, I do think there are better options than Spaghettios that are still relatively inexpensive.  [/quote]

Pardon my ignorance, but did your mother not have time to teach you to cook? How could she expect you to be responsible for feeding your younger siblings without instruction?[/quote]
