Supermarket burgers run the whole range from lean minced beef to goodness knows what in the cheap ones.

I understand that people are busy and work long hours etc, [been there and done that] but they only need to learn a few basics to enable them to make meals which are healthy and made from scratch. It only requires some organisation initially, and a bit of thought. We all have freezers now, and it takes very little time to make a large quantity of something and freeze part of it for another day. As long as they're doing that relatively regularly, there's no problem, and they shouldn't feel guilty about eating the odd takeaway etc. The irony is that we have access to more types of food nowadays than ever before, yet we have an obesity epidemic.

There are plenty of articles and recipes on Internet. I suppose I was lucky and did a Cordon Bleu course when I was 16 then learnt about nutrition at nursing school. But we did do cookery at the convent I went to and nutrition. I enjoyed it but we had to choose between domestic science or art for O level and I chose art. But my children didn't do cookery in their French schools. I taught them. Son 1 is a very good cook.

Talking of lips and as****holes I was watching a programme the other day, probably old, but anyway, it’s all British foods, the lamb dinner was eye balls, brains and testicles, and he was drooling over them saying he’d never tasted anything so nice! I just don’t fancy that sort of thing, liver and kidneys are my limit.
Edited to ad..... of course, the testicles were far larger than the brains

I know! A lot of his food is like that, although he does do some lovely basic food and all local, and real old fashioned puddings, spotted dog and syrup suet puds, lovely.

We had to do cookery at school was called "domestic Science" in those days, my youngest son now in his 30s did cookery at school, youngest daughter late 20s didnt. My smoothie is part of a medical diet, made with unsweetened soya or nut milk, and is as a complete breakfast they are made of whole strawberries,blackberries,blackcurrents,bananas.blueberries, realistically, I think the only fruit people are likely to eat "whole" fairy would be apples,or pears, everything else gets peeled.
I’ve never had a cookery lesson ... Ma was an unadventurous, nervous and to be honest, not a great plain cook. Paternal Gma was the daughter of a village baker and during one of her annual visits when I was about 12 she showed me how to make bread and sponge cakes. The rest I taught myself by watching tv programmed, reading books, watching who won cookery classes at the village Hort. Show and asking questions, and lots of trial and error ...

No cookery or sewing for girls who did Latin or German at my school and my mum was a very plain, food is fuel, cook who thought intelligent women had better things to do with their brains and left dad to do the cooking which was fine till he left her when I was 16 and I had to take over.
I have taught myself by observing others, books, magazines, TV and now the internet. Since I paired up with OH I've taken a greater interest in nutrition to keep us and then Possum healthy. We always eat family meals except breakfast unless I do a full cooked brunch for special occasions. We have a very varied international repertoire with a wide range of ingredients.
If you're born poor or to parents with social challenges - lack of education, drugs, illness or other handicaps - there's no-one to help you learn about cooking cheap, healthy, nutritional meals and you're unlikely to be watching TV and the likes of Moseley and co who could enlighten you and it's the poor and badly educated who suffer most from obesity, diabetes 2 and other illnesses associated with bad diet.

I never cook, ever. I find the whole process rather disheartening to spend ages, sometimes hours, creating dishes which are consumed within minutes. Eating: now that's a different matter.
Obelixx, I have friends who are diabetic,obese, and nether poor or badly educated. Michael Moselsys Father died young from complications to being diabetic and he himself was pre-diabetic. I lot of the Nurses and medics I used to work with were both as well, no excuse for them.Does your other half cook then Hosta or do you live on salad, and no cook stuff!!!Just about to bake coffee and walnut cake for Hubby to take to work for him Birthday tomorrow, and blueberry muffins.
