We all seem to live pretty busy lives these days, and frozen dinners/foods just seem so easy and convenient! While I've never been a huge consumer of pre-made TV-dinners, I do occasionally buy premade frozen foods for those super busy days.
However, these meals require a great deal of energy to keep frozen in transport and storage -not to mention the waste produced from their packaging that is left after you have enjoyed your meal! Furthermore,these meals are often cooked twice -once when they are produced and again when you are ready to eat them. And, they are generally loaded with all sorts of additives and preservatives that I could probably do without.
So, this post is related to my "back to basics eating" post and I will do away with frozen pre-prepared foods.
This is also a money saver, because buying basic ingredients and assembling them myself saves me money and is fun to do (a great stress reliever during a study break!).
What is your opinion of frozen foods? do you think you have time to make meals from scratch?
i don't think frozen pre-packaged meals are available here? but i do sometimes make my own frozen meals - like freezing soup or muffins for later. i guess this means i use energy to keep them cold and to heat them again later...
