Then if you don’t like American food, go back to Mexico.

There are still some regionally “restricted” foods here in the USA. Things like “good” Pasties (not nipple caps) are still hard to find outside northern Michigan, Wisconsin and into Minnesota.

Yes, but if you are really determined, you can make your own after picking great-gramma's brain and watching her make the stuff.

Here we have a made up, invented problem in search of a solution. And, of course, the government is more than happy to generously fund research into yet another non-problem.
I have a suggestion for the criminal aliens struggling with “new food environments:” GO HOME!

Gosh, is there no end to the problems these helpless wretches have in our country? Is there no end to the guilt we must feel and the ways in which we must worry about them, cater to them and pamper them?

Just one more bit of evidence that these people are not a “blessing” but a problem and a burden and should go back to their home countries.

I love grass fed beef. Just had one butchered and is all ready in my freezer for the whole year ($4 a pound). The meat is so delicious and it is very lean. Have to add a little olive oil to fry the hamburger.

Are they legal or illegal? Why do they choose to live where there is too small a foreign population to supply their ethnic food needs?

This is insane, foreign race baiting of America and Americans.

Here in NJ our “rural areas” are farms; there is no shortage of fresh vegetables, but if they’re going to deep-fry them I guess it won’t help...

I’m here in NJ too. I’ve turned my rose garden into a herb and vegetable garden. It costs only a couple of pennies to buy seeds...a little more to sow them inside, as I do, come March. Deep fry removes all the nutrition? How sad.

The researchers detected three important elements. First, moms are the ones in charge of making sure their kids eat nutritious food. (How is this news to ANYONE?) Second, barriers to achieving that goal exist in the form of "ecological factors." (Which means what?) Third, the youngsters change their eating habits. (Why is this our problem to fix?)

"Mothers retained their cultural identity as primary caregivers and wanted their children to consume nourishing food," Greder and her colleagues found. (Did someone actually pay for this Captain Obvious pronouncement?)

But as immigrants, not all moms manage to adapt to the new food environment (what does this mean?), so that many Latino women face a conflict between preserving their traditional dishes and promoting healthy mealtime habits.(In what way? Explain)

Greder and her collaborators maintain that the solution to this problem should be provided by family and consumer science professionals (i.e. MORE GOVERNMENT WORKERS) - they should be the ones to create opportunities to introduce immigrant families to certain existing programs such as vegetable gardening techniques.

Those same professionals, the researchers say, should work with schools and other organizations to make sure children have access to adequate meals and should take the lead in "identifying strategies to maintain healthy cultural food traditions."

Not a single detail provided.

This is BEYOND IDIOTIC. Mexicans eat rice, beans, tortillas, corn, chile peppers, etc. ALL OF WHICH IS READILY AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY. There are no "ecological factors" nor "cultural differences" nor different "food environments."

And let's face it, the Mexican diet ain't the healthiest anyway .... most of them are overweight by their 20s.

That’s for SURE. They even have specialized high schools in NYC for students from Hispanic countries. I’d bet good money that most are illegals. They chow down on the school lunches of carb-carb-carb like pigs at a trough, leaving veggies and fruits behind. Then they go to the vending machine for junk food, like they’re raised on. With few exceptions, most of the students from the Hispanic countries are notable for their astonishing lack of ambition and lack of effort to earn good grades. Getting them to bring a notebook to class, take notes, and do their assignments is like pulling teeth. I am speaking from actual observations, not bigotry. They are given tremendous opportunities for an education which will allow them to support themselves, but they’d rather fool around in class and impregnate girls. There are MANY big latina bellies in local high schools. Most of the girls’ ambitions are: having a man and being a mother, even if the man deserts her and the kid(s) he spawned on her. It is very sad, but that’s their cultural attitude. Do anything to attract a man, debase yourself in any way it takes, then have the kids that result while he dances on to the next pathetic girl.

Sounds like a call for Tax Payer financed free Taco options in school...but...but...how does that fit in with MOOchelles dietary guidelines for federally enforced low calorie meals for all students???? I guess the Mexican’s are exempt....

Don’t use olive oil for frying. It oxidizes and polymerizes, the same way that poly-unsaturated oils do. The result isn’t healthy.

I love olive oil, and use it every day. But for frying, stick to saturated fats - lard, tallow, palm oil, or coconut oil.

“It costs only a couple of pennies to buy seeds...a little more to sow them inside, as I do, come March. Deep fry removes all the nutrition? How sad.”

I want to grow an “Obamaville” garden this spring; I’ve procrastinated on it, but am more determined than ever (for instance, for years I’ve been too lazy to pay bills online; since the election I’ve done all of them online, to do my part in shrinking the government workforce). I used to have a small garden 20 years ago, but couldn’t keep raccoons and such out.

Whatever nutrition deep-frying doesn’t remove is more than offset by the grease/oil stuff it puts in; it is sad...

Thanks for the reminder. I don’t normally use olive oil when cooking. I normally use coconut oil. I am not sure why I have been using olive oil to fry the hamburger. Anyway, my favorite is frying an egg in coconut oil. Yum!
