what sucks about traveling on vacation

[dakota port]

every time i visit ohio and stay at my parents house for a week i have noticed something, there's nothing to cook but there freezer is full of microwave dinners/ice cream bars and pantry full of potato chips and candy. at my place i have fresh fruit, meat in the freezer which i cook, loafs of bread, and may a gallon or two of ice cream. my pantry is full of caned vegetables, cooking ingredients, and regular cheerios. even my brother up there has a kitchen that looks like mine caue he eats healthier to

the only saving grace up there for me is that chipotle is only about 3 miles away( three miles of hellish construction,traffic, and red lights). is this a case of the on the go society we live in or just laziness/lack of ability to cook.
h ow can folks live like that

rant over

Live healthy, exercise, die anyway. Might as well enjoy. I have known people to be health nuts and die young.(Father) I have known those who indulge and live long. My doctor says we are programmed at birth and heredity. Sometimes just can`t win.

My wife has been doing the paleo diet. As dumb as I think the diet is, it's been working for her. She's lost 30 pounds in 2 months. Almost back to the pre-baby body.


I know I need to loose some pounds myself, but there's is no way I'm going to go with eating breads and other grains. Or give up dairy products. Or potatoes. I still eat somewhat healthy with meats and fresh veggies. I try not to drink sodas either. It's tea, Gatorade g2 or juice for me. Just stating away from sodas I fell much better.

Same here, but I guess I'm part rabbit. I like my greens. I'm not really a beef fan, so I'd pick a salad over a steak any time.

I agree. Leave out the packaged foods. I prefer the taste of fresh food over sodium laden store bought garbage.

I've thought about doing the paleo diet but large quantities of spit-roasted mammoth are hard to come by these days.

i know your rant is about diet, but when I go home, my father-in-law puts me to work sunup to sunset working the farm. We have a wedding tonight & I was out all day working. No vacations at home for me. Thats the price for being maried to the farmers daughter!

Maybe, after all those years of cooking for you and your brother, she just got tired of cooking and the frozen stuff is easier!

Mmmm. When I'm in someone else's house eating their food, I don't complain. You never know what may be in your cupboard and fridge when you get older!
