Convenience foods fool consumer, student
There are three different types
of convenience foods. The first',
type we'll look at is "ready-to.:
serve" convenience foods. Some
examples of these are: bakery'
products, takeout foods, bought'
cookies,. etc. This type requires no
preparation -- they are "ready-to-
The Drama Club has many new
members this year and it plans to
stay alive arid present our school
with some acting talent this year.
The club is planning a spring
production this year with the help
of Mrs. Tiffin and Mrs. Hopper,
who is theilr staff advisor. After
their success at Grade. Nine night
the club is planning more activi-
ties to wake the students up. The
club aims to put on a productioni
serve". Another type is "heat
and serve" or "thaw and serve".
Examples of this type are pork
and beans, T.V.dinners, frozen
vegetables, frozen' cakes, etc.
One other type of convenience
foods is "partially ready". These
include cake mixes, cookie mixes
and frozen juices.
every two weeks at the assembly
to liven up our school. Look
forward to, seeing the drama club
in action soon,
Drama Club has many plans
for the future but it needs more
members to show it's talents in
areas , such as lighting and
make-up. Drama has many hid-
den jobs so come out and find
your hidden talent and please,
boys, don't be shy! Join the
Drama Club.
Generally, convenience foods
are 4 more expensive than
home-prepared foods. When we
buy convenience foods we, are
spending 'money to save time and
energy. We are paying for their
preparation. Some of these
"ready-made" foods do save us
money. Juices, soups, and cake
mixes are three examples of
Convenience foods that are less
expensive than the
home-prepared foods. But most
convenience foods are more
expensive because we are paying
somebody else to do the job we
would normally have to do.
Tests have been made, and
90% of the time, taste panels
place homemade products higher
in flavour. You can make the food
to suit your own "taste preference,
example -- homemade soup. You
can add what vegetables you like
and leave out the ones you
dislike.
A lot of convenience foods have
an "artificial" or maybe
"watery" taste. Cake mixes, rank
fairly high in flavour, people who
find it difficult,to 'be successful
cooks, find that a cake mix wilt
result in a better product than a
cake made from scratch. They do
save tinie and money.
How are we fooled when, buying
convenience foods?
T,V.dinners really trick most
consumers. - They come.,
packages with colourful bill often"
misleading pictures on the
outside. Someone has designed a
very-appetizing picture of what
we are led to believe is
inside. They try to draw a,,.
bountiful meal of lots of
vegetables and meat and potatoes
with thick, brown gravy. But after
the consumer is easily influenced
into buying the "quick and easy"
T.V.dinner, they take it home and
often find an unsatisfactory
"meal", inside. The gravey is
sometimes watery, the vegetables
are scarce, and the meat is often'
gristly. A lot of T.V. dinners have
a very high amount of ba
also,
Tests have proven
convenience foods are, m
the time, lacking su
nutrient content. This is be
they lose their nutritional
after going through all o
processing. The heat used i
processing destroys many
nutrients that are valuable t
But things are improving, C
have nutrients added to th
replace the ones that
destroyed.
What, then, are the advanta
of convenience foods?
They save time, and some,
money: But in the long run
usually don't save too
money. We pay for
processing, packaging, and
name, Less skill is require
preparing convenience foods
But why not spend a little
time and prepare a meal t
high in nutritional content
tastier and less expensive?
