One hears lots of negative talk (and rightly so, in many cases) about
fast foods but I think there is a whole category of "fast food" that
is being unfairly left out of the discussion. Fast foods imply
restaurant foods to the exclusion of other sources of foods.
What about the "fast food" that one buys at the supermarket? It is no
better, and in many cases worse, than restaurant fast food. Mac and
Cheese is virtually empty of nutrients. Pastas as well. Then there are
pre-prepared meals with added sugars, starches, thickeners,
colourants, and flavourants. Instant soups that are just a bunch of
chemical powders in a styrofoam cup (just add water). Sunny Dee is an
orange coloured sugary syrupy sweet drink that I suspect many people
actually believe to be an acceptable alternative to orange juice thus
allowing their children to ingest obscene amounts of sugar and hfcs.
White flour crackers advertised as baked not deep fried, and
supposedly healthier because of it, even though it is still a
completely nutrient-deficient white flour product.
How many people rely on these pre-prepared nutrient-deficient chemical-
laden crap foods while believing that they are actually getting some
semblance of nutrition?
