Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm almost 26 so was more of a child of the 80s than a child of the 70s My mom very rarely bought processed foods and always kept us away from sugar as much as possible. I grew up in a farmy area in NJ so we had access to lots of fresh local produce (KICK ASS Jersey corn!). My mom's side of the family is Italian and everyone on her side is a cook. My dad's side of the family, which is German, isn't as much into the cooking. My dad rarely cooks. We did eat meat growing up...not too excessively though. Now I'm on my own and very rarely buy processed foods...I love cooking. My brother, who is a senior in college and got an on-campus apartment for the summer and next year with a kitchen, is now learning to cook for himself. I know he isn't into artificial stuff either. So all my mom's cooking rubbed off on both my brother and I. Jen ....
