My food philosophy is simple: I use the most basic ingredients as is practical, buy the freshest stuff I can, and cook nearly everything at home.
I can be pretty confident about what's in my food, because odds are I put it there. We save a ton of money on eating out, and I think it builds better friendships when you can invite people over for a meal you cooked.
This comes at a time cost, but with practice, you get to the point where you can cook amazing food pretty quickly. Not as fast as an instant meal, but it'll taste ten times better, and cost a quarter as much.
Also, I've found I don't really like most processed food anymore after eating like this. Some stuff is okay -- potato chips are way easier to buy off-the-shelf -- but I honestly start to feel sick if I eat McDonalds, or drink a Coke, and I pretty much grew up on both of those.
I know this isn't accessible to everybody -- if you're working two jobs and on the weekends, there's no way you've got time to cook -- but if you have the time, I'd say it's worth it.
