what is processed foods?

Question

examples please

Answer 1

sausages, hot dogs, meat balls, tomato sauce, veggies and fruit in cans - anything that has been natural at one point but processed and has lost its good original nutritional value (like veggies in cans dont have vitamins anymore or hot dogs are like only 5% meat)

Answer 2

Hi I got you this info I hope it can answer your question:
The first food processing humans did (after discovering how to make fire) was preparing and cooking food. Then they discovered that they could process food to stop it going bad - preserve it - for eating in hard times like winter or drought. Here are the main ways people preserve food:

Drying, especially fruits (an example is grapes. They become raisins or sultanas when dry)
Salting - meat and fish packed in layers of salt don't go bad
Pickling in vinegar or brine (salty water) - onions, gherkins, olives, some fish
Canning and bottling - fruits, vegetables, meats, soups
Freezing and freeze-drying - just about everything can be preserved this way
What's the problem? Today, companies that process food in factories are mostly interested in adding value by making something that tastes good. If it doesn't, no one will buy it and they won't make any money. A single raw potato is worth almost nothing, but if you slice it thinly and fry the slices in fat, the crispy chips you get take up lots of space. So you can package them up in a fancy bag and sell them for many times the original value of the potato. And they taste good, of course! Humans love salt, sugar and fat so foods which have a lot of these are really tasty – but not too good for your health. Too much fat in your diet seems to be the cause of many diseases like cancer and heart disease. You'd be surprised to discover that savoury snacks (like chips or crisps) often contain sugar as well as salt and fat. And sweet snacks (biscuits and stuff) usually contain salt as well as sugar and fat. If you eat lots of sugary foods (including some drinks), your body changes the sugars into fat - which some people can do without.

Answer 3

Hi,

I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://www.freelstore.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!
