And not only that. The processed food is way more expensive.
I cook and hate to do it after work but one thing I would sacrifice is a little bit of time to make a meal at home, which is by necessity is minimally processed. I don't have time to make fancy sides and salads that involve lots of chopping. What I do is marinate meat a night ahead and then throw it in the oven or rotisserie and some very simple side of couscous or something and salad with lettuce and simple dressing of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Pretty much it. With few variations. This way I know I am not consuming junk they add to the processed food and I have no fetish about food in general. Otherwise it may become pretty scary looking at health problems and weight problems people are having and the money they spend.I mean there were very few overweight people in Russia even when I was a kid but now, at least half are pretty much fat. And unhealthy.
