Some people believe food should be perfectly fresh and natural. They view that fast food is not good for human beings. They don’t think that convenience foods such as canned, frozen, or packaged foods are nutritious either. In fact, these quick and easy kinds of foods are getting better and more healthful, however. Many fast food restaurants, for example, now have salad bars and put more vegetables items in their menus. In some places, veggieburgers are offered instead of hamburgers, and grilled chicken in place of fried. Also, some kinds of packaged fast-foods contain less fat, salt, and sugar. Moreover, some kinds of snacks like nutrition bars—snacks that contain a lot of protein, vitamins and minerals—are becoming widely available.
