Fast food or Canned goods?

I realized it just about two years ago when my local TV broadcast about dangerous food No body realize tht some good food can be harmful for your health

Really? what are these good food?

When do you consider it harmful to eat fastfoods or canned foods?

Packaged foods should have certain nutritional information on them, although that might depend on the country in which the are sold. Some microwaveable foods can be bad for you. Again, if there is nutritional information on them then you should make sure you read it. As I said though, you can microwave potatoes and other veg. Or you could just live on cold salads and fruit!

Thanks for replying.

I need to be knowledgable in cooking now because I plan on going abroad and living on my own. Yeah. Some foods that are packaged have less preservatives. But how will you know? And they say microwave foods are also bad, is it true?

Yeah. In short, I have to eventually learn how to cook. What are easy-to-prepare foods you know that are healthy?

That is really great to hear that you want to learn cooking a little so at least a few meals you can prepare at home...ok see dal rice is the easiest one ..boiling rice in hot water for some time and how it happens you have to learn practically from any one at home, the same happens with making dal you have to learn it from any one at home,while making rice or dal you can place one or two potato which will be fully boiled along with the dal soaking the good properties of dal and once it is out peel it and add chopped onions ,green chilly,and some salt and oil to it and this can nicely be ate with rice and dal and all this can me made in half an hour when you learn it.so try to arrange a practical session with someone...you can read some cook books about preparing food quickly and if you have a microwave learn about what foods can be made easily with this.oh I forgot you can even roast a papad to your dal and rice and alu or patato mix which will add to taste.You can learn some salads from the discussion from salads section which are good.Your problems gives me a nice idea to start a blog about preparing simple cooked foods at home for those who are not experts in cooking.

Yeah. I'll be waiting for that blog. They say microwaved foods are not good. Is it true? In a way, it is still fastfood because you are preparing foods fast.

Yeah. Do you think also there are chemicals in fastfood because they are also engineered foods. Fast food being fast to prepare is also not healthy. But how about canned foods in tuna? They claim to be nutritious and high in omega 3. It is better than other canned foods like sardines or corned beef?

Yeah. Thanks for the reply. How do you often eat in fast foods? How often do you eat to consider it still healthy for you?

Yes. I heard of these microwavable foods, such as pizzas, noodles, just put them in the microwave oven and then heat it. But are these safe and healthy?

Thanks for the advice. I do these most of the time. My uncle brings cooked food to my condo unit and I store them in the freezer. I'll just take them out and reheat it in the steamer or oven.

Probably more healthy than fast foods. There are some called Lean Cuisine. One must have to look on the label and check out the calorie content,etc.

Yeah. There are two disadvantages of going fast foods. They are more expensive and unhealthy. Why would you choose canned foods instead of fastfoods?

Thanks for your advice. How about you? What do you consider easy to cook? How about keeping frozen foods in the freezer and heating them when eating, is that healthy?

Thanks for the advice. I guess I first need to find time to learn because my work demands a lot of time. It will need a lot of time for me to learn cooking.

Yeah. That's the one I know that is healthy and good. The century tuna offers omega 3 that is good for the heart.

Fast food will be inevitable but we must not make it a habit. Yeah. There are chemicals in canned foods which prolongs the life of food. But I think it is okay to eat canned foods as long as you heat them in the oven. It will be okay right?

I'll try to see if there is a carinderia in our neighborhood. I am afraid to try these because it might not be clean after all. My health would be sacrificed. And I am not secured with those carinderias unless they are inside the malls. But these are the ones that are expensive.

I think the most important is taking vitamins with fruits and vegetables. I need to have a balance diet everyday.

Thanks for your reply. These things won't make me healthy but sometimes I need them because I am always on the go. Sooner or later, I need to cook on my own. Those foods that you mentioned like tuna, wheat bread and others, are not heavy foods.

Thank you for your response. I need to learn to cook now. hehehehe

Wow neat. I also have frozen foods wherein I just heat them in a steamer. That's my technique at home. When I need to eat, I just reheat the food in the freezer to the steamer or oven. I need to think of easy-to-prepare foods so that in case of emergency I can get something to eat.

Yeah. I also observed that there are foods that are dirty. You won't know if the foods are clean if you just tried it.

Thanks for your advice. I should indeed learn to cook. I'll go and download some basic cook books in the internet.

Yeah. They will be emergency foods in which I don't have time to prepare. Sooner or later I'll learn how to cook.

So it would be okay to eat fastfoods and canned goods mostly but just partner it with fruits and vegetables?
