have you ever wondered about the instant food., like instant noodles.. etc., how can they preserve that for so long? of COurse., it contains many pReservatives.. preservatives are bad to our health..if it's not regulated.. it can cause cancer in the future.. home-cooked food is much better for me.. it may be time-consuming..but it's more healthful than instant food., i avoid eating it regularly., well., if it's an emergency..i'll eat.. sO., what do you think about iNstant fOod?? dO yOu tHink we sHould keep eating it regularly?

If it was up to me I would never eat instant food, but hey sometimes its the only option but it really is bad for you, and I feel bad for the families that have to have that stuff day in and day out!

Yes ; I agree . Instant food like Noodles , Pizza etc have more quantity of Preserved Flour ;which we call as "Maida" in our Language . It is worse than Wheat Flour for our health . It is not so easy to digest and can also raise our Blood Sugar Level or Blood Pressure . Home cooked food is the best ; even If it takes more time to make and more effort . The effort and time are worth the end results . We are assured of a Healthier food Option .

Yes.. I do believe that it is not good for our body, because of there is many chemical compounds on the ingredients. But I still consume it, try to have it less and less everyday. The reason is a little bit complicated but I'll try to simplified it.. In the house there is no one who is able to cook, so there's no home-cooked meal everyday. If I need a proper food, I hve to buy it from restaurant. And if I bouth it from the restaurant it means I have to spend some bigger money, and I haven't got a job yet, so the money is really limited. And there is also time problem... When I need it quick, I couldn't go and buy it somewhere or call for delivery, the easiest and the fastest way is to get the instant meal. Too bad... I still need it...

Instant food is full of MSG. We should consume less of it and avoid having it regularly. It shouldn't be made as part of the regular meals. It's not healthful. You will only end up having UTI or something.
