Agree.  People have been cooking whole and simple foods for centuries.  It’s only in recent decades that everyone suddenly became too busy to make themselves a meal, therefore they must get take out and buy microwave food.  In reality, people waste time all day on their phones, computers, waiting in drive thrus, placing takeout orders and we have more conveniences than ever in our lives in just about every way [/quote]

Funny, I remember my Depression-era grandmothers talking about cooking whole and simple foods for their families before everyone got so busy, and they described it as endless, backbreaking drudgery.

When the convenience-food era began, they grabbed those Libby's cans and Birdseye bags with both hands and were able to pursue their other interests while putting years back on their lives. I know, I know, addictive additives are killing us now, but let's not pretend pre-industrial cooking was some kind of fulfilling Modern Farmhouse idyll.

Looking forward to my "False." response![/quote]

Nobody is drawing a line concerning “processed food” that somehow captures flash frozen vegetables or canned tomatoes. You use those shelf stable products to make real food. There is nothing wrong with those ingredients.

The Processed food being referenced for sane people in this thread is shelf stable stuff in boxes and true convenience food that really do contain garbage that will result in suboptimal health. [/quote]
