ha I swear my kid is gonna turn into a pizza box lolMy grown sons do this too...except when money is tight and then, all the sudden, they are calling me up and telling me they "made" supper last night. Seem right proud of it and all...even thanked me for teaching them how to cook. I got them a crockpot and they will use it on occasion as well. Then, when they are getting plenty of hours at work again, the pizza boxes and burrito bags mount up around the trash can.
Show him how to throw a few crockpot freezer meals together and stick in the freezer. Before work, straight into the pot without thawing. High for 8 hrs. frozen.

You can lead a horse to water ... as the saying goes. My son was raised with home cooked meals, good nutrition, etc. We even went for a walk everyday and went hiking and swimming, etc. We rarely had take out meals. But off at college he eats what he wants ... pizza and taco bell are his big winners.
In other matters, I went through our seed stash yesterday and made a list of everything we have. 120 varieties of stuff. 18 different tomatoes. A mix of purchased, saved, and traded. We're pondering seeing if we can lease an acre of land from a farmer friend and plant things like tomatoes, potatoes, squash, and okra out there while keeping our greens and peas and smaller things here. With hubby out of work I don't know that we'll be able to afford to, but it can't hurt to ask. Maybe we could do some work for him since he runs his farm by himself with no sons to help out. And give him some of the food, too. His wife cans things and they help out their daughter. This past year he planted a hundred foot by 10 foot wide row of turnips and gave them away to whoever wanted them. We're still going out and digging them up to feed the animals.
