Fast Food harms you in new novel ways!

Sunday, February 5, 2017

New research shows that not only is most types of Fast Food bad for you in a multitude of ways (this link uses Instant Ramen Noodles as a great example), but now even the packaging, which is coated with various chemicals (stain resistant, water repellent & non-stick) can migrate into your food.

Just like anyone else, sometimes at home I don't have time to make a fresh from scratch lunch, but I've found there's many Organic frozen meals that taste great with all natural (mostly organic) ingredients.  It's just like if your Mom made a great lasagna from scratch and froze it for you...but not in plastic haha as they can leach in extreme temps, such as frozen or heat (similar to the fast food container story). Ok, actually you can use plastic containers as long as they are the correct type but I'm not sure I fully trust that this is the last word on this tricky complex subject so I put parchment paper (even this has silicone but this is quite inert) in the container to prevent sticking during freezing.

Here's some of my fave fast Organic (or Natural) foods with no bad ingredients

Also at Healthy Planet I like a few of the IndianLife products, such as these wraps...they make great all natural Tortilla's as well (for when I make Tacos)
