Nutrition is a big topic these days, and as our choices increase, it gets more and more difficult to decide what’s for dinner.When I was growing up, we didn’t have as many processed, packaged, organic, or genetically modified foods as we have today. I had my share of “junk” food. I remember going to McDonald’s on the weekends with my mother or drinking canned Coke after school and fighting with my brother over the bag of Bugles. But when it came to dinner, most of my meals were home cooked from fresh meat and vegetables. Processed food was not a huge staple in our family, and I don’t recall ever worrying about the quality of the fresh foods my parents bought.
