The problem is much bigger than is suggested in this piece, the real shame is there is a pride in not even attempting to cook, even when there are children at home ..I have had moms and dads openly and shamelessly giggle at the fact that their oven and decorator pots and pans have never been used, and that their own young children are taught to fend for themselves, using the microwave, and calling the local pizzeria..

Is there any wonder that the kids are estranged and distant from families, and that we are said to be raising generations of loners.. Bullshit.. we have a boomer generation that are narcissistic and soulless.. the sooner this phony generation dies off the better this world will be..

They brag to me and others, that there is no set meal time in their home, and if the kids or spouse is hungry they know where the freezer or the phone is ..Forget the health ramifications, or the fact that a family that eats together will raise a family that is 85% more likely graduate from college, earn an above average income or ever be arrested..

The kitchen table is the simplest way the save a child from a life of disappointment, and loveless interactions ..

The real shame is that these sorry parents will blame it on their own children (they are picky eaters, or they are never hungry when everyone else is).. Down deep they know that is a lie, they see their kids and marriage's sliding away without remorse.. SICK BASTARDS!

Don't get me started!!!
