Meals that you only need to heat in a pot/oven and that are stuffed with preservatives and other stuff.
Some people include more in that "processed food" category, some less, but practically everyone agrees that preparing meals yourself using raw ingredients is a good idea.
- itake 3y agoThat definition is so arbitrary. You can’t define what is unhealthy by claiming “other stuff” So fried chicken is ok? No soups b/c they contain salt (a preservative).
- alpaca128 3y agoThe point is salting that soup and frying the chicken yourself, which avoids a lot of substances with often still uncertain long-term effects or potentially harmful effects on the environment. Of course it's more a rule of thumb, I thought that goes without saying.
