Re: Did you know..?
Much as I adore stopping at Mickey D's (Julia Child also loved their burgers), fast food is a relatively expensive treat I can't justify. Okay, sometimes I get something on the dollar menu but it offends me to pay $5 for a meal out so you can imagine how my heart races if I visit Applebee's or the ilk.
I don't buy a lot of snacks and rarely drink soda. I generally cut sugar back in recipes when feasible; my oatmeal cookies have 2/3rd the original quantity and are still too sweet IMO; they also have extra rolled oats. (I don't cut back on salt since usually the only place I'm getting it is in food I fix and I don't have HBP.)
But, unfortunately, even cooking from scratch involves purchasing ingredients processed by others; I don't make my own butter and cheese nor do I grind my own flour much less butcher my own poultry or beef. I honestly don't think you can win the war--just fight a few battles.
