[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But those hot dog carts and mega bottles of Gatorade (3 for $1), well, they're alluring. Slightly faster to the "table."

I'm the poster you quoted. I forgot to mention that my Pre-K program does home visits. Although I'm not able to visit every one of my kids' homes, some of my families have communal living and shared kitchens that let's just say aren't exactly conducive to cooking. So unless you've been in someone else's shoes and can offer ideas for positive change, I find it useless to make self-righteous statements about the way other people live.[/quote]

Great.  Do they have a fridge?  If so, that's where the tub of plain yogurt comes in, supplemented with cold cereal and an apple.   Turkey slices.  Target's Archer Farms brand of low-cost hard cheese.

My idea for a positive change I guess would be mandatory nutrition classes, with government assistance being contingent on successful completion / attendance of the nutrition class. [/quote]

A "tub of plain yogurt," "an apple," and "turkey slices" aren't gonna cut it for every meal.

As far as your second point, with so many people on food stamps nowadays, how's that gonna happen?
