Ruminations

We were pleased to read in the Sept. 16 issue of the Washington Post about a mother who decided to tackle the thorny issue of her son’s bad eating habits, specifically of fast food. She set out to prove that fast-food items cooked at home save money as well as calories.

Her conclusion? “Not only is homemade food almost always more nutritious (lower in calories, fat and sodium), fresher and better for your family in most every way, but it’s also significantly less expensive and, in most cases, once you have your ingredients on hand, no more time-consuming.”
