My parents, grandparents and great-grandparents had this really odd meal plan all their lives and ours:
- Meat/poultry/fish (oven roasted or pan browned and steamed)
- potatoes/rice/pasta
- vegetable
- bread or dinner roll
The vegetable was either a tossed salad or cole slaw, or a cooked vegetable like corn, peas, green beans we canned/froze from the garden or bought at the store.
They lived long lives into their 80s and 90s, not being dietitians or scientists or anything that required more than an 8th grade education.
I'd venture to guess that many here in TV have the same type of supper/dinner, after having had a light lunch of soup or salad or small sandwich....and I don't think it's a life threatening plan.
