Here's a story to sort of add to that. My husband was in Pennsylvania traveling. He wanted an apple. He went to the concierge to ask for an apple, after trying to buy one in the snack area of the hotel. 15 minutes later the concierge returned with an apple. It turns out at one time they HAD tried to sell apples in the snack area- but no one bought them, so they just sell chips and candy now. It's hard to blame the shop- the apples didn't keep as long as candy and chips, and the demand wasn't there. I don't know what the answer is. I do know that for my family the answer is healthy meals, no matter how tired I am. Tonight we had a nice salad of baby greens with miso dressing and homegrown tomatoes, tomatoes broiled with pesto, chicken breast marsala, potato pierogis, and watermelon for dessert. I made plenty of food, so there will be lunches for whoever needs a lunch at home. And every day I pack healthy lunches. My daughter, away at college, cooks healthy meals like I taught her too. She often sends me new recipes she has discovered. It's a learned behavior- eating right. How are children to learn it if their parents don't teach them? Isn't that just one huge vicious cycle?
