Brekkie cereal and a bit of fruit, sandwiches for lunch, meat and veg or salad. Most of my friends had similar experiences. Somewhere along the way, processed and junk foods became more prevalent and they seem to become the norm. I don't think that it costs any more for our family to eat well (at least not here in Australia) but it does take a little more time. When you give it some thought, the whole convenience aspect of processed food is weird. Since when have we become so busy that we don't have time to eat and feed our families well?
