Processed Food

Do you know what processed food

is? Processed food has chemicals

instead of real food with vitamins

and nutrients.

Do you know why chemicals

are bad for us?

Our body doesn’t recognise

chemicals in our food.So our

body can’t make any good use

out of processed food.

Do you know what real food is?

Real food is food that has natural

ingredients in it and no chemicals

in it . Real food has been the

least processed. e.g butter

If we ate processed food all

the time, we never would get

enough nutrients.

This is because there is not

enough nutrients in processed

food to feed our blood cells. If

you ate a lot of this food you

would become over weight

which would cause other

health problems.

Preservatives are made for

a good reason but sadly

preservatives are just as

bad as chemicals.

kSherry Elton an expert

on processed food

says 80% of the time

you should eat real

food and 20% of the

time you can eat a

little bit of processed

food.

If you want to keep away from

processed food, it is a good

idea to read on the back of

packets and see what sort of

ingredients it has in it. Or you

could grow your own vegies

and you could make your own

bread. Remember to try and

eat the least processed.
