I am trying so hard not to eat processed food. It is the hardest thing in this hurry up world.
For sure, I try to eat as little processed food as I can too but its hard when most things in the canteen at work are all from packets. Only way to do it seems to be a lot of planning and a lot of sandwich bags/home prepared food.
"No processed food."
Easier said than done, right? But is convenience really worth risking your health?
