For years, t.v. dinners were little packages of sodium loaded death that had more fat than any meal you could cook on the stove. Today's companies have changed them. Now they promise to be 'healthy choices' over the traditional. The tragedy is that even this attempt is a failed one. The problem wasn't only the absence of nutrition in microwave meals, but the presence of radiation. Microwaves are one of the most dangerous things to cook with.
Invented in 1947, the microwave was a massive piece of machinery that only the wealthy could afford. As popularity grew, the microwave shrank and the prices followed. They soon became so affordable that practically every home has one now. Almost in direct relation to microwaves becoming a standard household appliance, cancer cases increased. Scientist began to conduct studies on microwaves and the effects that they have on food. These studies have concluded that microwaves cause molecular changes in foods, which has been linked to have cancerous affects on the body. Microwaves also destroy a majority of the nutritional content in some foods.
The capitalist era of today has made it hard for some to sit down and have a wholesome meal. The 'hussle and bustle' of daily life has made some turn to fast food or fast made meals for food alternatives to a homemade one. This shortness of time has changed the eating habits (and waistlines) of America drastically. Fast meals are great but a fast life is tragic. If at all possible, skip the quick food and go for the real thing.
