I know my parents regret it. Chicken pot pies were a staple, ramen, kraft mac n cheese, and canned ravioli. Crazy thing is I think in general we ate healthier than most of my friends.

The older we got the worse it got because we also became latchkey kids.

My mom cooked everyday, including for breakfast most days. After school we would eat fruit or cheese or snack on whatever my mom was prepping for dinner. We certainly had cookies, candy and chips and crackers every once in a while too though. blackbird on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372860 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:04:53 +0000 blackbird 372860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup. Waaaaay too often. Lots of processed food, frozen meals, and fast food.

My parents worked, so I had a lot of frozen chicken pot pies, Chef Boyardee, bologna sandwich, tater tots, SPAM! But my mom also cooked breakfast when I was little, so I had some nutrition. She stopped cooking once I gotten older.

Tons of frozen dinners.

Breakfast was 50/50 processed food. I ate lunch at school so that's definitely processed. Smurfette on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372814 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:41:21 +0000 Smurfette 372814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, my Mom isn't the best cook. So it is a lot of boxed meal, Rice A Roni, canned soup, etc. Freckles on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372804 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:36:48 +0000 Freckles 372804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, tons of processed food after school. Our snacks were frozen pot pies, KD, ramen, and rice+sesame oil+soy sauce+egg. Dinners were probably the only meal where we had real food. tororojo on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372790 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:30:20 +0000 tororojo 372790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We ate lots then and still do now! But I'm more aware of it now and eat more fruits and veggies as well. Meridian on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372771 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:20:19 +0000 Meridian 372771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, a lot of processed foods as snacks but not as a meal. My mom was pretty good about cooking dinner every night, but after school I was all over boxed mac n cheese, pop tarts, instant mashed potatoes, beef-a-roni... I've been wanting some Chef Boyardi lately, haha! mrbee on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372765 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:17:59 +0000 mrbee 372765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: Breakfast of champions!! chopsuey on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372761 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:16:47 +0000 chopsuey 372761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We ate a lot of ramen. My sister and I used to eat one each for breakfast every day! Ate lots of bologna too.. autumnlove on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372759 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:16:26 +0000 autumnlove 372759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We ate more processed food when my mom went back to work when I was 9 or 10? It still wasn't a lot! mrbee on "Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-a-lot-of-processed-foods-growing-up#post-372740 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:05:55 +0000 mrbee 372740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I did at home... we had a garden and my mom cooked a lot! School was like a graveyard of processed food though. And when my mom started teaching, I became a latchkey kid... and I didn't have the skills to make non-processed foods myself. So I ate tuna + mayo + white rice + kimchi a whole lot. Like, every day for years. Did you eat a lot of processed foods growing up?
