As a child of the 50’s, I ate my share of frozen TV dinners. With the advent of the microwave and improved packaging technology, one can live their life without ever having to cook from scratch.
An article posted by Rachael Ray extols the benefits of the new frozen foods. Reading the ingredients, I noticed a ‘Seafood Multi-Pak’. Hmmmm… knowing that many seafood varieties are imported from China, I’d pass on this one. China’s dubious record for food purity is well documented. Inspections of food from China at U.S. ports have turned up a scary list. Do YOU trust imported Chinese food? I don’t!
Pork from Hormel? I’d skip that, too. If you’ve seen either “Fresh” or “Food, Inc” or done any reading about the food industry at all you’d know that this ‘food’ isn’t really food. The animals are fed hormones and antibiotics, which YOU are eating when you consume this food. They’re fed GMO corn, which has been sprayed with pesticides.
Knowing what I know about food, I would hardly say that these items are “New and Improved.” Read the ingredient listing on any frozen food and see how many words you can pronounce. Some of the contents in food you probably don’t want to know… but should.
