We worked hard and we ate and didnt worry!! But of course we canned our own fruit and didnt have juice boxes or yogurt! Now that my kids are grown, I wish I wouldve paid more attention!!!Debsdailylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520412949675963572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-38054147992055588642013-10-16T16:59:13.787-04:002013-10-16T16:59:13.787-04:00Kim- I don't mind reading a novel. :) I rememb...Kim- I don't mind reading a novel. :) I remember no one being home when I got home from school. I hated that. My cousins got kool aide and cookies. I had iced tea or water and fruit. Sometimes a cookie or something but those were monitored. Our meals were always from scratch too. <br /><br />Kathy- It is. And COSTLY. I think we've been content to let the big corporations take control.

Just reading the ingredients made me want to jump up and run outside. <br />I remember when I was a kid, an after school snack at my house was an apple. That was how I discovered pine nuts, my Mom wouldn't let us eat between meals so I found I could get them from the tree in my grand mother's yard.

The cafeteria workers actually cooked for us...though we did have pasta a couple of times a week. We ONLY had milk to drink. No sodas, tea, coffee, juice.

I have Danimals, but never realized they were so sugary!! And we also have the fruit cups, but I only get the no sugar added ones. I try to be informed but it is so overwhelming sometimes... It almost feels like there is nothing left out there to feed my kidsJessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861658300112079021noreply@blogger.com
