Also, people who live with many people cooped into a tiny flat have no chance or space to try the benefit of cooking one's own.x Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-80547376356489494642015-09-09T01:00:25.139+01:002015-09-09T01:00:25.139+01:00In the States, it's expensive to eat healthy, ...In the States, it's expensive to eat healthy, and it's also time-consuming. If I worked outside the home, I shudder to think how much money I'd spend on pre-packaged meals. I'm glad I have the money and time to cook nice meals. Do you all have "food desserts" in the UK, places where there aren't any grocery stores, just fast food and convenience stores? That's a big problem here for poorer communities.<br /><br />I wish we could figure out how to get good food to all people!<br /><br />xofrances Left-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-66500897229426859262015-09-08T23:08:08.176+01:002015-09-08T23:08:08.176+01:00When we were children our family was poor.

There were poorer people than us of course, kids whose lunch was a jam sandwich, but by today's standards we were as poor as many people who now live on benefits, even though my father was working. Even so, we ate well. Cheap cuts of meat, carefully cooked from scratch, home grown veg, and the only fruit we had regularly were home grown blackcurrants and rhubarb or hedgerow blackberries. Ready meals didn't exist and if they had my mother would not have had the money to buy them.<br />I think the lack of cooking skills comes partly from the loss of "domestic science" in schools and also that people would rather spend their time and money on other stuff. We didn't have that choice. You grew it and cooked it from scratch or went hungry.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-52894846697857269312015-09-08T14:00:32.654+01:002015-09-08T14:00:32.654+01:00I love meals round the table.

But lunch is always on the sofa or sat on the floor not sure why but sandwiches just don't count as food in my head lol<br />XFishcake_randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639536696800359426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-32904405981581222072015-09-08T10:13:51.463+01:002015-09-08T10:13:51.463+01:00Yes, I always thought it was Burns too, but when I...Yes, I always thought it was Burns too, but when I checked, I discovered he was quoting somebody else [anon]Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-64916613448322522842015-09-08T08:38:17.333+01:002015-09-08T08:38:17.333+01:00So true!
