You know what's funny - that isn't always true.

I cook - I love to cook. Almost every dinner I serve in this house is
cooked from scratch every night. I could stand to loose about 10
pounds. I have a friend that is as skinny as a rail. She cooks maybe
once a week - something like Tacos from a kit. Other nights she feeds
her kids mac n cheese or chicken nuggets etc. The only reason she is so
skinny is she doesn't eat often. Maybe one meal a day. We went out to
dinner with she and her husband, she had a dinner salad no dressing.
She doesn't eat dairy and no sugar. I wouldn't call her healthier than
me - nor would I call her kids healthier. I do buy some processed
food...not a whole lot but some (ego waffles, canned pizza sauce, a few
other things like that)

The funniest thing about the whole situation - I allow my kids one
"sweet treat" a day (unless they are being punished) Which means they
can have a cookie, some pudding, maybe a piece of chocolate or even
*gasp* a small glass of soda with dinner....She thinks that is horrible.
Because of course, grilled chicken - rice - steamed broccolis and a 6
oz glass of Sprite is worse for you than chicken nuggets...


Sorry - got off on my own rant there
