    Yes, way too much! I just don't have the time to cook every single meal. I'm trying to balance it out more..

    you know I heard there's communities now where people eat only unprocessed produce, they're like self sufficient communities and they also have done away with the greatest evil of all, electricity! where do I sign up?

    a healthy diet has almost nothing to do with weather food is processed. its definitely good to be cooking meals and of course making sure you get your micronutrients, but it is in no way essential to avoid processed foods.

    I'd rather my natural peanut butter came in a jar, with an ingredients list stating: peanuts 100% then waste time doing it myself.

    there's a benefit of standing upright as an animal, it frees up your hands so you can make things with them. theres also a greater benefit from having a larger brain, you can make machinery and methods to streamline things so you dont have to do it with your hands anymore.



    processed or not, its what your diet is made of that counts.

    Yes, not all but some. I like to cook from scratch as well but some of the seasonings are used are from containers so...

    Yes. I'm a really good cook and baker, but I don't cook 3 meals a day from scratch. I eat bread, yogurt, deli meats, ect. Processed =/= bad.

    I eat processed food all the time. I also put salt on it. I still lost weight by eating less food and exercising more. I don't buy organic fruit because I can afford more fruit if I buy the regular kind. What's worse, chemicals or no fruit at all?

    I try to avoid processed foods, but I admit I do eat some from time to time. Mostly I've made an effort to find recipes and things I can make quickly and easily that my family will enjoy. It's a challenge, but it's rewarding when you find something good! Way back in the day nutrasweet always gave me headaches, so since then, I've always stayed away from artificial sweetners.
