Ready Meals - are they really that bad for us?

[sprite1950]

There's no doubt there are some delicious pre prepared meals for sale in the shops these days but we are lead to believe that they are bad for us because there is too much salt or sugar in them. But are they really so bad when many people add too much salt to their cooking anyway?

I am not comfortable in eating fast food meals because of the preservatives. It may be only in my mind but it is better to be sure. If you know instant noodles that you just pour hot water and that's it, I never eat that. Based on my own research there are 5 people I know who developed kidney problems due to eating instant noodles frequently.

It is not just the salt and sugar in them, but also chemically and synthetically made preservatives that are added in such foods makes them bad for our health.

It depends on the food in question, but I do know that if you eat a lot of oily food then you will gain weight easily, also sweets and carbohydrates, so it really depends on the type of ready-made meals.

Yea, they are bad for us. Lots of sugars, salt, chemicals they add to it but it still tastes good it's all about having a healthy balance of eating healthy and having these other kind of foods.
