[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all processed goods, you have to weigh the risks vs. the benfits of convenience. Almost all processed foods have a downside. Besides plastics, researchers are learning more about the downsides of oils like canola and soybean oil, and these are seemingly in ALL processed foods.[/quote] I posted earlier that if that was the worry just make the food yourself. I totally agree with this. It's a balance between convenience and health. Telling you a convenience food is healthy is marketing. I have 3 kids, work and still make meals from scratch. One ingredient cooking/diet is a legit diet. Eat whole unprocessed foods.[/quote] Mac and cheese is one of the easiest dishes to make. I never understood why people purchase processed Mac and cheese. It can never be as good as it is when you make it from scratch. Millions of recipes.[/quote] Some of us who usually make from scratch like having the convenience of packaged foods occasionally. For example, I make lunch every morning before or in between meetings while my daughter is out with her nanny (I like for her to get the outdoor time). If I have unexpected things come up at work and can’t cook (which happens maybe once or twice a month) I like to have some pre-made foods available. Like chicken nuggets, or boxed Annie’s.[/quote]
