Yeah, I kinda like having the convenience foods handy too, but they are so loaded with fat and calories it's not funny. Stupid North America!!! We're all so fat over here. Theoretically speaking, of course. Seriously though, we are probably the most unhealthy continent (food consumption-wise) in the world. The UK may be in the running too though. I try (and I stress the word TRY), to keep lots of fresh fruit and vegies handy so the kids can munch on those when they get home. IF they are cleaned right away, (ie: when I get home from the grocers) then they'll be eaten. But God forbid one of the kids has to take out the celery, clean it and cut it up themselves! "Oh mum, that's just too much work!" Pahlease!!! And then they say, "can't help it mum. I'm lazy", like it's an acceptable excuse! We've switched to a lot of "whole" foods though, for health reasons. You know, the fruit instead of juice, whole wheat instead of things made from white flour. I read that if you eat a slice of white bread you might as well picture it as a slice of sugar because your body treats it the same. Not good. Anyhoooooo
