There's nothing wrong with convienience food per se, as a standyby, or a 'treat', but if that's all you ate, in the long run you'd be poorer in the pocket, and in poorer health.
Of course..and I don't believe that many families do live on convienience food because it does not work out to be affordable.. the reminicing about having to go to the chippy for a meal just does not add up... fish and chips round my way are at least £5.50 to take away.. kebabs etc over a fiver for one.. now I'm not having the outlook that peolple can feed a family on that sort of expense.. some poeple really are out of touch with the reality of 2009... but then again if you were born in 1909 then I can see how it must be hard to keep in sync.
