I am very much against food snobbery. This was probably because I was born right after the depression and was a little girl during the second world war when food was rationed.
I also was expected to eat what was put in front of me and like most girl teens of that era I was given cooking and sewing classes in school. My sewing skills aren't too hot, but I am a halfway decent cook and I still use Velveeta.

For us it’s not food snobbery, it’s how you were raised. My grands and greatgrands raised chickens, pig, beef and dairy. Fruit trees, and a acre just for vegetables. We never used sugar, since our hives provided all we need and sold the rest. I never went to a grocery until I moved out on my own, in the 70s. To this day I can’t drink milk unless it’s raw, processed milk just tastes awful.
We still have our meat raised, grow own veggies. Processed food was never on our table, and I don’t know any other way. Our cheese, butter, yogurt made in our kitchen. It’s a lifestyle.
