(84,711 posts)If you are a working family with kids...not everyone is going to eat the lentils for $1.19
for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
I personally would be fine with that most days of the week...because I love lentils...but, it's just not practical for seven days a week for working families and kids. And, even though I'd be fine...I still work part time and that isn't an option for me with clients and work schedule and if I had school aged children I couldn't pack that up in a lunch box every day. Some restaurants and Fast Foods do offer Vegan..these days and so it gets easier...but, just isn't practical for so many. We have to hope that Vegan/Organic continues to grow...but Al Gore and Bill Clinton being heroes for this when it's so easy for them to do seemed sort of funny and a bit "in your face" as a prescription for Average Americans going through hard times with little time to do "Meal Planning" for Vegan lifestyle these days.
