Packaged food are time savers but harmful too!

Eat, pray and sleep is the norm what nowadays people are opting for. In such hectic life people rather than cooking meals for an hour or two prefer to take packed or ready to eat food. But how healthy these? A recent report revealed that everyone's favorite past time meal maggi contain lead and MSG (monosodium glutamate) beyond permissible limit.
Meanwhile, the Lucknow Food Safety and Drug Administration asked Food Safety and Standard Authority of India in writing to cancel the license of Nestle's product Maggi. However, Nestle denied all allegations.
Perhaps in order to enhance flavour of packed and processed food, the usage of MSG is common but it may also harm people's health if it's presence is in excess. Even human body produce monosodium glutamate but regular intake of the same can bless one with unhealthy life. It is a silent killer or one can call it sweet poison which engulf one's body leisurely.
There are other products too which following the same step. They not only conquered everyone's taste but also inundating all with diseases.
Soups
Once everyone was more concerned about consuming fresh food but as time changes, the packed food has superseded it all. Packed soups are not good for health as it contain dehydrated veggies, dried glucose syrup , edible vegetable fat, yeast extract powder etc. The usage of food color or flavor enhancer in soup can directly effect one's liver and kidney. Also one's digestive system face problems because of toxic coloring agents. 
Ready to eat food
One cannot think of getting into shape after regular intake of this type of meal. It contains dehydrated vegetables, spices including sugar. Fresh vegetables are more rich in nutrient comparative to dehydrated veggies. This kind of veggies are completely devoid of nutrient, protein and vitamins. Even re-heating of this type of meal totally kills the available micro-nutrients of veggies. 
Museli or sugar coated flakes
Everyone finds museli and sugar coated flakes the best breakfast for every morning. But how often people discussed its' side effects in life? Although it is complete meal in itself but with disease like diabetes. One can surely wait to get diabetic patient soon after consuming this type of breakfast regularly. It not only increase the sugar level in body but also cause hyper-activeness.
