"This Has Been Keeping Us Alive For Years"

 "No, this has been killing us for years.", I replied to a woman who commented that 'good down-home cooking' was preferred by her son.
The kid is lethargic and lazy.
 He sleeps late and plays video games all night.
 And the woman cannot understand why his grades are suffering.

Really? In this day and age people with Internet access cannot Google a healthy meal plan?
Those old high-calorie meals may have been fine for days working out in the fields.
They may have even been fine when kids actually went outside to play (As opposed to pretending to play on video games.).
We no longer require such large portions nor such high calorie counts.
When little boys start to have boobs - something is wrong.
