Jeez now you are attacking my families favourite foods. My kids have
grown up on macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and
don't forget all the various forms of frozen potatoes. As too powdered
soup mixes I don't know which you use but the ones we use have a lot a
flavour and texture. I especially like the chicken tortilla soup and
the potatoe soups. I also use a lot of Fr.Onion packs when cooking veggies.
I really like convenience and I find this stuff to have lots of flavour.
Try the Mac and Cheese mixed with a can of Tuna...great.

I'm not attacking anything. I'm just stating my opinion. People tend to
like what they are familiar with. Few people bake from scratch and it seems
that few people cook from basic ingredients. Therefore, they acquire food
preferences for things like Twinkies and shun whole wheat bread made from
scratch. You stated that real whipped cream was not acceptable to most
people. I question this as a survey can be skewed by the polling technique
and the way the questions are stated. If you prefer instant potatoes to
home made mashed potatoes then in some ways you have the advantage. There
are times that I wish that when confronted with choices that I would
gravitate towards the inexpensive, easy, and quick alternative.
Unfortunately I always gravitate towards high-end goods and more labor
intensive foods made from basic ingredients. I have nieces that won't touch
anything but McNuggets and fries. They only drink chocolate milk and soda.
I'm sure they are quite likely to choose Cool Whip over real whipped cream
too.

Sounds just like my kids.
Isn't that a sorry state for a Chiropractor who leads a wholesome non
allopathic lifestyle.
