That stuff is a staple on my "hurricane shelf". Just open and eat.

Two steps up. The one between is Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Maybe Mary Kitchen Hash.

Hey... I've eaten at Golden Corral a few times and have lived to tell the tale.

Don't knock the Chef Boyardee. We may all be living on that before it's over.

For those that can't boil a pot of water figuratively speaking. The rest of us will adapt without poisoning ourselves.

I eat it not infrequently. I like it. And I'm still alive. (the snobbery on C-D when it comes to food...)

Fast food and processed food might fill the belly, but your body is not being fed because the nutritional value in fast and processed foods has been literally processed out. You might as well be eating cardboard. What you save in grocery money you will end up paying in medical bills, and the quality of life you live will be diminished by poor health.
Cheap empty calories. I could live fine on that when I was younger (but of course, shouldn't), but now that I'm older, my body needs whole, healthy, foods.

But you also complain that you can't figure how to lose the weight you've gained....

Yes, I am absolutely a food snob. I care about nutrition, I like GOOD food.

Of course I am just finishing up a week in NorCal..... where I gleefully ate too much good food. But that's WHY I come out here, to visit family and enjoy the food scene.

We do not eat out much and when we do it is usually going to be a special occasion. Mainly the reason is cost but my spouse can out cook anyone. I get a 5 star meal at nearly every setting.

Or at least you thought you didn't. Poor nutrition is especially harmful to children. Our bodies are still developing well into our mid-20s, and without the needed nutrients all of our systems: central nervous, skeletal, auto-immune, digestive, everything is robbed. We might all be super heroes if we all had proper diets from conception.

Had my normal Friday breakfast with a friend. Now I don't order any meat so my breakfast is pretty cheap. I save meat for weekend breakfast I make a home.

My tab usually comes to $5-6...eggs, grits, biscuit, coffee.

Well today my friend cut out the meat as well and commented on how cheap her breakfast was.
I put on my "Cheshire Cat" grin and said "I toldya so".

Meat would add $3.00.
