This. I wish I could remember what it was but I saw a documentary focusing on a few families and their struggles to eat healthy food.

A single mom with an obese daughter was heartbroken and frustrated that her daughter was not losing weight. They were eating lots of cold cereal. They thought it would help because they bought whole grain cereal. They thought that was the most important thing.

A lot of people don't know, and there are many reasons why that might be the case. [/quote]

I’m your basic white girl and grew up with a divorced mom who worked in a crappy private school, but had severe depression. She’d buy some random groceries every week, and we 3 under 10 had to manage. We’d eat frozen corn and crackers with peanut butter and pickles for dinner. Cereal for breakfast and usually lunch. The OP assumes so much. If you looked at me then (in a suburban house) or now, you’d never know I grew up with food scarcity. [/quote]
