I rarely buy packaged foods because most of them are full of words I can't pronounce & I don't even know what they are.

I firmly believe these large food companies are out to make money and they will do whatever they need to increase their profits. Including loading foods up with sugar so people get addicted to the taste & buy more of it. Most don't care one bit that their ingredients aren't good for health. They see their profits go up & that's good enough for them.

Cooking from scratch is the way to go & it need not be complicated recipes either! If it wasn't around 100 years ago, you should think twice before eating it. My opinion anyway.
