Does anyone else feel like a food snob?

I usually use frozen vegetables--except for things that you can store in the fridge like carrots, potatoes, butternut squash, etc.

I eat frozen stuff like pizza, frozen burritos, frozen chicken pot pies. Of course there's bread, cereal and lots of other things that I don't make from scratch.

I do enjoy using my mother's old recipes every so often and that's about the only time I really do enjoy cooking anything. Her banana bread, her brownies, her pot roast.

I don't go to fast food places but that's out of health concerns mostly. I eat hot dogs but I make sure I get the ones without the nitrites. Since I can't afford fancy restaurants, there's no other choice but to cook.

A food snob would probably be someone who thinks they are superior because of what they eat. They can look down on a vegetarian, an omnivore, a processed food eater, anyone. A food snob thinks they are better than you.

I am pretty much like you ^^^. I eat all that frozen stuff, don't do fast food, etc. I don't cook a lot from scratch, my food is what I call "semi-home made" (like an old tv cooking show) I start with things like the soup stock in a box, and maybe even a rotisserie chicken and add veggies, rice, etc for soup. I usually use jarred pasta sauce because I don't want to simmer for hours and the jar sauce is cheap, quick, easy and quite good. Things like that. These days it is much easier to get tastier healthier options that are semi-prepared. I definitely don't consider myself a food snob. Like the quote poster, a sob things they are better than you.

Ask them how how their flock of chickens ia doing. You don't raise chickens? How can you be sure what they're eating?
