[quote=no_such_reality][quote=spdrun]What about to food containing obesogenic compounds? (Though I’d agree that C&C is a large part of it.)[/quote]
The above, processed foods, ready to eat, massive increase in restaurant meals are all related to the commute/two worker households.
For as important as food is, it’s really pretty amazing how little the scientific community consensus there is on really what food does what.[/quote]
nsr, when I was a FT “worker bee” (for decades) with kids at home, I NEVER ate at FF joints. I ALWAYS brown-bagged my lunch (EVERY day except for holiday potlucks). Occasionally, I went to happy hour dtn after work (maybe 4-6 times per yr). My oldest got a happy meal from their dad on Thursday nights for a few years because I had two jobs back then.
I stopped at the commissary one night per week after work and usually arrived home by 6:30 pm with the groceries.
The only time we ate out was when we were on the road … almost NEVER while at home.
I think its BS that American worker-parents feel they have to feed their kids fast food … or eat out regularly … especially two-parent families where both work.
