This topic, and also remembering comments a while back about advantages of tube feeding made me realize how much time us "regular" feeders spend in preparing, storing and eating food! We eat as an accompaniment to TV watching, we are strongly encouraged to eat/drink while at the movie theaters, when children come over, we Moms usually say "Are you hungry?, want something to eat?" We have lunch meetings to discuss business/fun while eating. Food seems to accompany so many things, I'm beginning to realize it does take up a whole lot of time! If my children come over for Mothers' Day, I am definitely not going to cook. I think I'll just relax in my back yard swing, read a book and sip a Slim Fast.
