On the healthiness of pre-packaged foods

i personally don't like pre-packaged food, i find them bland, hand made food always seems to taste better to me, even if i made slight accidents with them. but it may just be because of the way i've been brought up; family are extremely into the whole organic/free-range thing and cook everything themselves, except for my sister who just snacks and is slim via this and starvation (she rarely even eats dinner and when she does, she barely touches it).

it doesn't take long to make food once you get the hang on it, i remember when i first tried making sushi/onigiri and it took me 1-2 hours, but now that time i halved because i know how to prepare as i go. the same goes with cooking; i prepare it all first and then gradually clean up as i cook, it's about timing and organisation really. if you find you don't have much time, just made an extremely large amount to last a few days so you have your own pre-made food. my mum does this with spaghetti and curry, and i do it with curry, mabo tofu and stew.

but my weight/healthiness is probably mainly down to genetics since i don't really do much exercise apart from the occasional walk to uni instead of the bus when i have time. but i also naturally get cravings for certain food groups that i'm lacking.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
