I can't tell if this is a Brit/American cultural divide, or a misconception of what middle class families today feed their children.
For American middle class families, it's practically nothing
but frozen and fast food. Even families that cook real meals for the adults are likely to heat up some chicken nuggets or boxed mac-n-cheese for the kids to eat separately. They might cook something as fancy as spaghetti, or a casserole, or a stir-fry with rice for everyone to share, but you can absolutely rest assured that the vegetables will be frozen and minimal, if at all.
