Excellent points...makes sense, as the friends I do have that were raised in better food homes definitely have it easier now.
You mentioned pizza once a week - that's also a carry-over from my upbringing. EVERY Friday I get a wicked craving for pizza because that was always pizza day growing up. So I have to actually stop myself from gettin a pizza every week...I still do once in a while...because, well, I love pizza.
Anyway, I've also had to learn about all this stuff as an adult - it definitely put me at a disadvantage. Can't argue that!
In high school I would eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups every day, along with a (real)coke or two and lunch would be either a Sonic Burger or Pizza..unless we went off campus, then it was McD's. If I ate like that now I'd be a blimp.
