myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people3 months ago

Some food businesses are capitalizing on a fast paced societies' lifestyle making a lot of money selling instant meals like noodles, canned meat and vegetables. They are cheap and doesn't need a lot of time to prepare. I personally avoid it if I can. I would rather prefer a well cooked and fresh meal rather than instant ones. I have instant noodles sometimes for snack. Other than time, I am not really a fan of instant foods.

How about you?

Me too. Canned food or instant noodles are rich in sodium and low in nutrients. I dont really believe it even if it states in the bottle "fortified with vitamins." I always believe that if you really are after nutrition, it has to be real food and not processed.

But you know... when i was a kid, i am addicted to instant noodles. I used to snack on them twice a day until my mom hid them from me.

Hi Grace, Yes, we see lots of "come ons" in the packaging like fortified with vitamins, for me, they don't really mean anything.

enjoy!

Instant foods are not good for you and i stay away from them, I always cook my meals fresh with organic ingredients. I also stay away from fast food places.

I myself is not a fan of instant food if it would be for a meal, maybe on a snack it could be. But I tried to avoid it for it lacks nutriens, sometimes what you just get is much more of a carbohydrate.
But other people with a busy lifestyle would prefer such food.Aside from being easy to prepare it is cheaper than fast food.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  3 months ago

Yes, it's usually the busy people in the fast lane that consumes lots of instant foods. They don't have the luxury of time to prepare a decent meal.

cheers!


myLot reputation of 94/100. jndlponti (414)   ranked 7,911 out of 35,339 in people  3 months ago

Yes but their is a saying that goes "a busy person has a time for evrything" it is just simply time management that they need. Or maybe, just maybe they really don't give much care wether the foods they are eating are giving them nutrients or not. All they care about is that they were able to eat, get full and was satisfied with the food, that's it!
I hope more people will be more health consious especially this generations now.

Hi..I am a people who consume instant foods or canned fish.Honestly,I know that it's not good for helthy but I try to avoid it by minimalization to comsume it.But difficult to me if talk about instant noodles.So,I counterbalance with add the noodles some vagatbles or consume some food that contain anti oxidation.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  3 months ago

I agree, you can take it in moderation. The idea of balancing it more healthy food is a good idea.

HI Manong,

I do eay instant noodle and canned foods sometimes,of course,not everyday.
Maybe three times a month.
Normally, I will buy Maggi instant noodle,Gulong luncheon meat,Ligo canned kernel corn and yeos baked beans.THose are mostly I bought every month during my grocery shopping.

It is not good to eat instant noodle and canned foods everyday,but once awhile,it should be fine.

Having instant foods at home will help us during the emergency period at home. Sometimes, when we really run out of food at home, it can be served as a food for our hunger.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  3 months ago

Keeping instant foods for emergency needs is a good idea. We never know it will come handy sometime especially now when there are many natural calamities happening around us. It is good for unexpected guests too. At least we can serve them something to eat without having too much trouble.

cheers!

i only really use canned tuna, but even then it's not that often. if i'm using something canned it's for being added to a salad, we don't go for canned meat like spam, cornbeef etc. the microwave meals, there's a few there but they are usually for lunch, when i can't be bothered doing anything about it. i manage to over cook them any way, but a lot of the quicker stuff is more a snack or quick lunch.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  2 months ago

They say that even canned tuna is rich in omega3 which is good for the heart. I sometimes use it too for preparing sandwiches.

cheers!

I stay away from fast foods. These are sometimes prepared with oils that was used over and over, which make it actually poisonous and carcinogenic and you also don't know precisely what is really included in the food you eat. Also with all the additives included in canned meals, it also becomes very unhealthy. With a typical first world fast food diet, when you die, you don't actually need to go to the morgue and be refrigerated for the first few days, because your body would be 'embalmed' with all the poisons stored in the body.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  2 months ago

I agree. So much toxins and carcinogenic ingredients present in fast foods. They can not only embalm you but probably mummify you as well.

enjoy life Iboerseun!

hi manong^^;;
our society is really getting busier everyday and people will no longer bother to prepare meals from fresh food but rely on these manufactured ones.
I admit i am lazy to cook since i live alone and i have to one to share my meal with but surely i avoid pre-cooked ones. it's really unhealthy. i would rather have fruits with me to sustain my hunger but wouldn't choose such if i have other options. i do have some noodles at home but eat it rarely.
oh sorry, the only instant i don't run out of is oats. blush


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  2 months ago

I have oatmeals for breakfast too and I think they are natural foods rich in fiber and not really processed with chemicals.

enjoy life!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Lucky09 (734)   ranked 3,253 out of 35,339 in people  2 months ago

yes manong, oats is really rich in fiber. i forgot to say natural instant hehe because i buy the ones that don't need cooking. only pour hot water and let it stand for 3minutes before eating..i know the original ones are again better but i think it's not bad at all for the instant oats. happy

I do have canned foods and instant foods too. I use them in my emergency kit. They are really good things to have to prepare for a disaster like an earthquake. I do have them sometimes but they are really high in sodium. I too would just prepare my own meal rather than have it instantly made.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2930)   ranked 216 out of 35,339 in people  2 months ago

good idea, especially now that we are faced with so many natural and man-made calamities.

cheers!
