the way we used to eat as children was quite unusual compared to today's meals and the preparation was less - I often think my mother didn't like to cook anyway. Breakfast - Poptart or on weekends egg and toast with bacon and for lunch tuna and mayo sandwich with cookies - not much fruit or veg and also for dinner macaroni and cheese with peas and milk for a drink - not much salad either. Only on special occasions.
I've cut out breakfast because I believe in intermittent fasting and only eat a dinner at 5.30. It's conversations we're going to have to have with ourselves and interesting to hear others views. I ponder it often.
Very interesting to hear your perspective around this and your experience with how serving size has changed since you were young. For me personally in NZ with no kids as a vegetarian my eating habits have changed over the last couple of years as food has got so much more expensive. I am no longer buying much processed food like fake meat. It is just too expensive. Instead I've been getting my protein from lentils, beans and eggs. Even the price of eggs is a bit shocking. I am looking for deals again now. Going back to my student day tricks of getting vegetables from the cheap veggie shop near campus and only eating what's in season. I don't have kids. I am struggling to decide if I can even afford to raise them at all.
I personally think most people over eat generally. Im accused of eating like a mouse, but i don’t lack energy or stamina and I am 57 and work out everyday.
It also depends on things like height, weight, age and what you do most days. I’m a 26 year old woman and clean and flip foreclosures for a living. Then I typically go to the gym after work so therefore I need to eat more because I’m burning more than someone who may work in an office all day and then go to the gym for maybe an hour. A lot of people don’t take that into consideration either, but I work with people who both overeat and under-eat. It’s all about awareness and listening to your body.
Who is this dreary doomsday prophet? We don't eat a full lunch as a snack in Canada. Kids might have a yoghurt or cookies or a veggie with dip. Also, how are kids eating at 9pm? How do they wake up for school?
yummy sending my full support thanks
I was lucky if I was able to have half an apple after school.

I guess you've also just explained the childhood obesity epidemic...

@@alisonfraser8231 Exactly, they are asleep in class and not listening.
You keep saying "we" but thats you and your kids. Who else can you blame the change on?
@@jeil5676 not my kids or me
