... I'm one of the people that depend on my kids to eat at school. Because feeding them healthy is very difficult.

I'm not easily offended however, you don't have all the facts.
I am vegan. My kitchen is vegan. My children didn't make that choice. So, if they are to eat any non vegan foods it will be at friends and family's home or at school.
Now lets get back to where my kids go daily and they can eat without making me sick that isn't costing us extra money... that's their school.
I don't consider a budget to be a bad thing, I also have entire shelves full of vegan cookbooks and my kids love my cooking which is what matters.
No offense but, I don't need or want your help. Thank you though!

25 Foods You Can Grow From Scraps
a reply to: Iamthatbish
I was hoping there was a free internet like there used to be. It's too expensive anymore and will be something I will drop if things get worse.
We have only been able to get tomatoes, strawberries, and mint to grow outside, but inside you can regrow onions, lettuce, and celery.

no need to be rude. Geesh this is the first time anyone has ever been rude about me offering help. I never said you needed it either I just did what I do for anyone when cooking comes up.
No offense but, I don't need or want your help. Thank you though!

Honestly, buying fresh vegetables and whatever protein you want to use is much better for you, fills you up more, and provides more meals. You would be surprised at how much you can actually buy. Onions, tomatoes, and peppers are all fairly inexpensive. You can also go to your local markets to get them even cheaper.
Frozen foods are the worst, and the most expensive.
Scientists from Leatherhead Food Research and University of Chester, carried out 40 tests to measure nutrient levels in produce that had been sitting in a fridge for three days, compared to frozen equivalents. They found more beneficial nutrients overall in the frozen samples, in everything from broccoli to blueberries. In fact, in two out of three cases, frozen fruits and veggies packed higher levels of antioxidants, including polyphenols, anthocyanins, lutein, and beta-carotene. This conclusion supports previous research, which found that freezing produce does not destroy its nutrients. In one report, the vitamin C content in fresh broccoli plummet by more than 50% with a week, but dipped by just 10% over an entire year when frozen.
