While convenience foods are becoming more popular with urbanites, the consumption of processed foods is sometimes accompanied by guilt as consumers feel they may be trading nutrition and safety for convenience. However, processed foods are not necessarily less nutritious or safe compared to raw foods, and in some cases, may be safer and more nutritious . . .
WALK down the supermarket aisle or even the displays at a neighbourhood grocery store and you will be greeted with rows upon rows of convenience foods that require a minimum of preparation and cooking. From pre-cut salads, sometimes with dressing included, to frozen entrees and meals in a can, anyone pressed for time can whip up a hearty meal in a jiffy.
