I Don't Know Why This Irks Me So!
I agree with Mr. Baker... I think a lot of them are buying stuff the kids can fix for themselves in the microwave. Unfortunately I know people can afford good food on their own dime who shop the same way.
Fresh food is expensive. We probably spent around $50 on fresh fruit every week.
Whatever happened to folks buying bags of potatoes, rice or beans? Lord knows that was my fall back when ever my money was extremely tight.

It takes EFFORT to make kids eat healthy.
I cook but that's no guarantee that the picky little knuckleheads will eat it, and it's not because I'm a bad cook. Yesterday after church I fixed some fried chicken, homemade buttermilk biscuits with honey and oven fries and they wolfed it down like they were starving. YET, there were collard greens with ham hocks, corn bread and roast beef in the fridge that they hadn't touched.
I've made it known that I don't run a restaurant and I'm not trying to cook 2 or 3 different meals every day to satisfy everybody's appetite whims. If they don't like what I cook they know my motto: Eat a peanut butter sandwich or open a can of ravioli. They ain't working me to death. I have enough to do as it is.
I brought the last of the pinto beans I cooked Saturday to eat for my lunch today. Guess I'll be having greens rest of the week...
