    My siblings and I were fed homemade everything:
    home grown beef, chicken and pork, garden vegetables, fruit from nature, nuts picked out of the woods, eggs from hens,
    homemade bread, jam, canned or frozen vegetables, wild game shot fresh, fish from rivers and ponds, fat rendered from meats
    I never had a fast food meal until I was 16 and could drive.... still not a big fan

    Breakfast: Pop Tarts
    Lunch: What do you mean Macaroni and cheese is NOT a vegetable :noway: Hot dogs were our "protein"
    Dinner: My dad cooked a lot of our meals from scratch but not exactly healthy. He's an awesome cook! We had a standard menu during the week.
    Sunday - roast; Monday - hash if any roast was left over, if not spaghetti; Tuesday - Hamburger patties; Wednesday - Mom cooked so hamburger helper came into play; Thursday - fried pork chops :love: (my weakness) ; Friday - was mix it up night always something different; Saturday - let's just say we could call Domino's and tell them we wanted the usual.
    There were always sodas in the house along with sweet tea and kool-aid.

    We were living in poverty. I was fed the cheapest chicken nuggets, deep fried chips, cheap pizzas, discount bottles of pop, sausages and burgers. I think that was about it. All the things that cost £1 for a bag of 40, 50, 60, 70...you get the idea...bulk buying because it was ridiculously cheap to do so.

    I was a scrawny kid because I didn't eat loads. We got that stuff, but we never had 'too much' of it. Then, when I was all trained that those were the foods I really liked, that it was rude to leave food on your plate and that I should eat whenever I could because we didn't know when food would be around, I got let out into the 'real world' with my own income and the opportunity to shop and eat as much as I liked. Of course, I went with what I knew, but now I could afford plenty of it!
