O-o-o-oh Pray tell Kevin what channel might that be:confused: !!!I wanna watch!!!

I was reading an article a while ago that was talking about the change in food between poor people 100 years ago and now. It was saying that people with money these days now eat what used to be considered rustic peasant foods like paella, enchiladas, all sorts of pasta dishes, stews, gumbos, etc. Things made with what ever they could catch or grow. Today’s poor in America at least no longer grow their own food for the most part so they eat fast, frozen and processed foods because these are the cheapest foods they can get. If this is true then Sandra Lee’s idea of using these same products for short cuts falls in line with that thinking. As long as she isn’t using upscale prepackaged items. Still who would want to eat that?

If I were truly poor my meals would not be eaten out!!! I would COOK! And I would cook truly nutritious food not JUNK FOOD and Frozen Crap! I would eat a variety of dried beans cooked in many different ways. There would be rice and biscuits with meals as well. I WOULD have a garden and I would can and freeze vegetables, I would save grocery money by doing so, and have fresh sliced tomatoes and fresh greens, and many other wonderful vegetables with our meals. I could spend less on dried beans, rice, flour and all the ingredients to cook these into wonderful meals than I would spend eating off the Dollar Menu at McD's or the Burger King!!! And it would be a heck of alot better for me than their fast food offerings!

I know this would keep us alive, well-fed, happy and healthy:)

Unfortunately you see many that have not adopted this lifestyle, and, or.... are too lazy to cook or learn to cook! It is a sad but true fact that many do not even like vegetables and their taste buds desire nothing but fast food or junk food. It is sad that their taste buds have never developed, nor a desire to live a healthier life style:( I just do not "get it" and never will!
