I am a member of the 'sandwich' generation, that group that must simultaneously care for elderly parents and support children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the family sandwich, the older people and the younger ones can recognize one another as the bread. Those in the middle are, for a time, the meat.
Anybody who has children and children who are well feels a sense of responsibility towards parents and kids and families that are struggling and that aren't well.
I have a great affinity for senior citizens.
If someone wants to eat healthy, they can do that and get the sandwich exactly right. I'm so pleased we're able to influence so many people and their eating habits.
I have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they keep me young.
My older brothers and sisters have kids and families.
In some ways, I'm slightly like a single parent, so I need to be able to provide for my family.
I've been an assistant to a folklorist and a teacher. There may or may not have been some sandwich-making at a certain sub chain in my past as well.
When I was young, I grew up in a family of working-class people. Not just my parents, but my extended family, as well.
We have a broad range of snackers - moms, kids and healthy active people.
