Well. I used to pack my kid’s lunch a lot of the time when
he was in school. I *thought* I was fixing delicious stuff
for him. Later I learn that he was trading it off for some
pure-dee junk food behind my back. :o(
I think that's common in this day and age. Not too many moms make real food so the kids who don't get good food want some. And kids who get feed good food at home are convinced by TV commercials that they really want the junk. Win-win for them, I guess.
My kids were raised with home cooked dinners almost every night with pizza or fast food as an occasional weekend treat. I remember when son #2 was 10 or 11 years old telling me with disgust in his voice that some other kid he know ate at McDonalds almost every night.
They may not voice it, but even kids know that home cooking, even when it's not perfect, still blesses a family.
