Flavor is a quirk. The salad bar contained different kinds of dressing that even seperated it from the lettuce. My mixed vegetables were cooked rather than raw,and the salt was included. Was it mom's home cooking? No. Was that an option? Yes. Do I know how to cook? Maybe. The difference between assimilation and alternative methods versus the status norm is that quality means healthy--Good for you, Good for the environment, and Good for your kids.
