Dude just look at what moms buy at the supermarket. How few buy things like a whole chicken that actually needs to be cooked. It’s breaded chicken fingers and other heat and serve for an increasing large number of moms. These mothers have no desire to sacrifice their rewarding careers.

When we are in line at Publix or WinnDixie, my boys see some of the junk people buy. It is either Frozen dinner, or canned pasta (like Chef Boy R Dee) or whatever is quick.

We are busy and even when we are not home until late, we either have a crock pot on or a Nu Wave Oven (got it at a pawn shop for $5) or we make something quick but good. I think the last time my boys had a TV dinner was 7 months ago...
