Cassie and Kristin Olson wake up to the sound of their alarms and rush downstairs. Mom and Dad, Susan and Bob, are already up. Breakfast is already out and bagels and waffles are snatched up, goodbyes are said and they rush out the door to the car. They split ways, one to work, and the other three to school. This is a day in the life of the Olson’s. They hardly eat breakfast, lunch is packed for Cassie and Kristin, Dad eats whatever he can find, and Mom has perhaps an orange and a protein bar. Dinner is the most guessed upon meal. Mom gets home late so Dad and the kids go to Rubio’s, or Pick Up Stix, or Mario’s Pizza. They usually pick up something for Mom and bring it home. On the weekends they sometimes have a sit down together meal with Mom making the meal. It usually is some sort of pasta because its pretty easy to make. They usually shop every two weeks at Albertson’s and less occasionally Costco for bulk items.
The Olson’s are people whose busy lives trump eating healthy and convenience is more important than creating whole well balanced meals. Eating healthy is important them but unfortunately its a little hard to accomplish with such busy lives.
