[quote=Anonymous][quote] I hope that my parents are feeding their children healthy native foods at home like beans, plantains, and tortillas, but I don't know if this is the reality for many of them. I think the quick option is the hot dog cart or Five Guys. Fortunately we have a huge enclosed playground so the kids get to really run at outdoor time.[/quote] This is the crux of the problem, at least in this particular immigrant community. Beans and rice flavored with a little pork is insanely cheap, with some Target-brand skim milk and cheap mass-produced imported apples from China. Super healthy and [i]most definitely available every day on an immigrant's low wage.[/i] But those hot dog carts and mega bottles of Gatorade (3 for $1), well, they're alluring. Slightly faster to the "table." [/quote]
