I've begun to notice the elderly in my life eat worse as they age. My mom was a health food nut (in a good way). Now at 80, she eats whatever looks yummy at Trader Joe's and Costco. She's earned it, sure, but there are consequences. I've suggested to my siblings that we get her back on Meals on Wheels, just so she'll eat some real food.

Yes, I used to cook my mother a veggie meal whenever I visited - nothing special just daal/rice or pasta/tomato sauce and salad. My sister did the same but with plenty of meat/fish. Otherwise she lived out of the freezer and it wasn't veg/meat but prepared pies and stuff.

I think it was convenience and her generation always having to be the one to cook for the family.
