Letter: Processed food is so often a problem

Published 7 September 2016

From Urs Kleinert

Warner's comment comparing home-cooked and pre-prepared foods is fascinating, if only for its support of his employer's agenda. He eloquently refutes claims nobody has made, that home-made meals are always healthier and processed food “inherently bad”. Ignoring research on levels of salt, sugar or dubious additives, he cites a single source, admitting that “it's a small study and you can't draw too many conclusions”.
