Not only are they NOT easy, but they include ingriedients that the average family does NOT have around the house, and most kids are not going to eat most of them and with working moms and dads, you would be having to go the store every day! They are just not condusive to the average American family. They also call for expensive ingriedients!

I thought it was just me. I'm glad somebody else sees that.
I've never looked at it before, but yes, I think you're right. None of what I saw was terribly complicated, but certainly most of them call for ingredients you're not likely to have hanging around (who keeps capers on hand?).
I keep a stock of basics (spices, flour, pasta, rice, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and so on), and pick up fresh veggies and meat - shopping about twice a week. I know how to combine various ingredients to make something we like and that's about it - nothing fancy usually.
