Are boxed food dangerous?

Question

Are boxed food dangerous?

Answer 1

The danger with frozen/ boxed dinners are usually full of salt and chemicals.

The freezing process tends to degrade the taste of food and the meals are heavily processed with extra salt and fat to compensate.

In addition, stabilizing the product for a long period typically means that companies will use partially hydrogenated vegetable oils for some items, which are high in trans fats that can adversely affect cardiovascular health.

The dinners are almost always significantly less nutritious than fresh food, and are formulated to remain edible after long periods of storage, thus often requiring many preservatives.

YES, They are a handy last resort, but not to depend on for healthy eating

If they contain alot of MSG (monosodium glutimate) then yes!
