How about banning them from being used at any restaurant? Make them go grocery shopping, jeesh.

I was involved in a charitable situation with a private group ~ had Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, etc. involved ~ the Lutherans owned the building.

There are people who have children who don't own a pot, nor have the slightest idea how to use it.

It's not a rare occurrence, but it's a pretty good explanation of why they continue to be impoverished year after year.

The Lutheran building was an old church with a good church kitchen with many stoves. The church groups involved sponsored numerous Boy Scout troops and Girl Scout troops for inner city kids. They taught the kids cooking.

All I did was provide recipes handed down to me by my mother who grew up in a particularly large impoverished family during the Great Depression.

The recipes were great. The kids were great. A group of young priests and nuns came to visit with me about that.

Poor children must learn to do the cooking their mothers can't or won't. Get them a pan. Get them some recipes. They'll do it.

No prepared meals in TX. Could use them when we were were on Hurricane watch. On olden times , you couldn’t buy any snack foods, but now OK.
