um… could Roger be working late at the office?

I’m with the kids on this one. Take a hint already, Andy!

ps: Does Andy ever actually acknowledge the issues her family has with her cooking and offer her justification? Because I can’t remember that she ever has?

Paige’s table manners leave something to be desired.

Hey kid – Take your hat off when indoors, especially in restaurants.

Actually, a certain amount of salt isn’t bad for you, but it has to be natural, not processed. Andy needs to do her homework.

My mom is part Irish. I was 21 years old before I had a dinner that did not have some sort of potato. Every meal was meat, vegetable, potato except on Fridays (we were Catholic).

I’ve been to many restaurants in my life, and I’ve never seen the dessert served until after people have finished the main course. If the dessert had already been served in panel three, that means they were finished eating the main course, so, what were they going to put salt on in panel four?

Mom, the kids telling you they are enjoying the food better.

Well if you didn’t pour salt in Paige’s milk, maybe she’d let you have it at home!

Healthy eating doesn’t make you live longer. It just feels longer.

Kids today have heart issues which will follow them through life because of their crappy diets, many are obese, and some doctors tie in poor eating to issues like Attention Deficit Disorder. Andy is trying to be a good mom although her cooking skills are lacking. My sister was very careful about what her kids ate, and both are adults with good health and weight.

Mmmm…Pasquetti!

Herbs and spices are extremely low in calories and will rarely have ill effects, so healthy food can taste good.

What’s with the puppets?

Tofu is actually unhealthy
