Not passing judgement, just making an observation, and it is a generalisation.

Might be because children are being taught the wrong subjects in Food Technology lessons, when really the best lesson they could be taught would be to shown how to cook cheaply and nutritionally, starting from scratch with fresh ingredients.
Got to agree with that Rindi, this was a few years ago though, when I lived in Hassy there was this family lived near me which consisted of 2 adults and 4 children, every night of the week the two eldest kids could be seen in the local Chinese take away buying the tea for the family, Saturdays too, they were a bit stuck on Sundays as this shop was shut at teatime, so they had to catch the bus into Town
