What would you do if you went to the grocery store and all that was to be found were the basics?!
When I say this I mean no convenience foods!. No soups in cans, no cookies in packages, no frozen pizzas, no Hamburger Helper!.
I ask because I just read an article about junk food!. SO many people are addicted to that stuff!. I saw a couple at the store the other day and (this is no joke) the only thing I saw in the cart that was not this type of thing was the gallon of milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
the grocery store closest to me has only basic foods!.
flours, sugar, salt, shortenings, canned veggies and fruits, stuff like that!.
It is always a challenge to make meals in my kitchen as I don't buy all the super-prepared quick fix foods!. Angel Food cake mix is one of the few mixes you will find in my pantry!.
Life is much simpler on a ranch!. We cook most foods from scratch!. Canned biscuits!?!? very rare item as they have to be used in a certain amount of time and do not freeze well!.
I can cook very well from the local grocery store or my pantry with no "convenience" foods at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would be OK with it, probably save a lot of money in the long run and be healthier!. I buy plain popcorn and pop it when I want something to munch on instead of greasy chips, so much cheaper and has lots of fiber!. Canned soups and entrees that are processed usually contain mono sodium glutamate which is a flavor enhancer, and should be called an appetite stimulant, causing people to overeat!. I learned how to make homemade pizza crust, the thin type like Pizza Hut has, and those pizzas are much better and about 1/3 of store bought or restaurant pizzas!. Hamburger Helper and tuna helper and other boxed foods doesn't taste as good as home cooking, and gives me gas whatever it is they put in it!. If I want cookies , I will make ice box cookie dough and roll it up in wax paper and cut off a few slices at a time and bake them, they taste so much better fresh!. I like to use the crockpot and bake things in it slowly, can go off for the day and have a hot meal waiting when I get home!. Sometimes canned soup is good when you are sick and need a light meal, otherwise I would rather make my own and not have MSG in it and have fresh veggies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would make a meal from basic ingredients!. Which is what I am already doing!. Junk food is too expensive and also way too salty to my taste!. They put in the salt as preservative and also to hide the fact of how little taste there is in all that processed junk!.
The one thing that I would miss is the package of spaghetti sauce!. The type that you only have to add water to!. I have yet to find the perfect recipe for perfect spaghetti sauce in less than 3 hours and I would miss this quick and easy cheap meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I rarely buy processed foods as they are more expensive and less healthy!.
There are lots of things you can cook with the basic staples!. Buy an older cookbook such as the 1951 red-and-white Betty Crocker cookbook for help!. The 1956 version is even better but it's out of print!.
Other cookbooks that are good include Joy of Cooking, Dining on a Dime, and More-With-Less!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It wouldn't inconvenience me at all!. It's not like I have to mill the flour, refine the sugar or mine the salt!.
Haven't had Hamburger Helper in 20 years or frozen pizzas, either!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well i would have to make everything from scratch!! which would be fine by me cause i do often enough anyways!. I think it would be a good idea too because then you know exactly what you are feeding your family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would be fine!. Ninety percent of what I serve my family is homemade, homecooked!. Made some lovely spice cookies yesterday, which we had after homemade pizza! Yummers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would be like, "Where's all the other foods!?"
Then they would say, "We don't sell those anymore!."
Then I would be like, "Oh, that's weird!."
Then I would go somewhere else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
