Food plays an important part of our daily life. With both parents working today, very easy option is to adopt the instant food. How healthy is it? It may seem very easy to prepare and serve, but on the health part, isn't it creating a havoc? Working women face this everyday challenge of preparing fresh food. Children are falling prey to all the flashy covers and the taste. What is your opinion on this?

Because I am a working mom, and gets home tired, sometimes I also tell my children to just open some canned foods. I know it is not healthy to have instant foods but I can't help it. I am tired and almost drained to still cook and prepare our healthy dinner.

This is grave problem. By the time we reach home, we are so tired. What I have adopted is to cook simple. Just 2 dishes...no elaborate menus, only when time permits.

As much as possible we should avoid eating instant foods . That's because they are processed and it is said that processed foods can cause cancer .

Yes, exactly, instead have a simple meal everyday and elaborate meals on holidays.

@durgabala And maybe if you have no time to cook home foods then you can buy those real viands or dishes on local eateries where there are some veggies maybe .

I think if consumed in moderate amount should not hurt you much.

Instant food are not healthy since there will be chemical for preservative. I avoid bottle drinks and instant food for my children too
