...striking. The American family is the only one that eats practically no fresh produce. The picture of a tiny bowl of grapes, two tomatoes and a few onions represents the amount of fruits and vegetables that the average four-person U.S. family eats in an entire week. Fresh bread and fish are also absent. With the exception of meat, most foods are processed. Counting Ragú sauce as a serving of vegetables is just a gimmick. It's no wonder that American diet books recommend reading food labels. Maybe it would be wise to recommend food with no labels: fresh...
...daughter visited with the first grandchild. I thought I was "top dog" since the kids moved out of the house, but now I am close to being an entrée in an exotic restaurant. Since this new arrival seems to eat constantly, I thought eating a loaf of bread and all the bagels might be endearing, but no. Chewing up the breast pump didn't go over well either.

He described his kidnappers as "dangerous and unpredictable...
...version of fine cuisine consisted in a second dinner. By “second dinner” I mean that one of the housemates had bought a loaf of French bread and left half of it out on the counter until it had hardened to a level where any reasonable person would throw it away. Naturally, I swooped in to keep good food from being wasted, warmed it in the oven, and proceeded to devour it with poverty’s best companion, peanut butter. This tasteless, crumbly bonus meal gave me such a sense of satisfaction that the bread?...
