[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Store-bought yogurt is such an innocuous thing to complain about! I make my own because I prefer the taste, but if I liked the taste of store-bought I would switch in an instant. In general, buying store-bought things with just a few ingredients is fine.

I do judge UMC families who rarely cook and continuously rotate a selection of take-out and frozen food. [b]Cooking should be something like laundry or dishes - you just do it. People should be disciplined instead of lazy[/b].[/quote]

Because you say so?  Ok then, I’ll get right on it!  If I’m not doing it your way then clearly I suck at parenting. Can you please send me your email address - I’d love some more of your pearls of wisdom. I need all the help I can get![/quote]

Sorry but I'm with PP on this.  I do get that life gets crazy sometimes but I find it stunning when people with kids tell me they don't cook at all.  It's one thing to get takeout once or twice a week or feed less healthy things to a truly picky eater, but cooking is a basic life skill.  My spouse grew up eating pre-prepared foods and takeout all the time and there are serious health problems in the family as a result.  I'm definitely not snobby about everything being fresh/totally unprocessed, even if you're just throwing cans of beans and tomatoes into a pot to make chili that's still cooking in my book.[/quote]
