Post by: JessieKateRose on November 13, 2010, 01:34:37 pm: Canned food is way way better for you, but it depends on the ingredients I guess.

Canned vegetables retain their nutrients after being canned, so they often have more nutrients than the "fresh" food at your grocery store.

Post by: LaTashaS28 on November 13, 2010, 01:45:40 pm: Yea, I agree that canned food is way better than fast food. Because with canned food (depending what is in it) you get all the nutrients, and plenty of vegetables, etc; you will need. But with fast food there is so many out there that is not so healthy. So most definitely canned food is so much better.

Post by: fixerupper3530 on December 15, 2010, 11:42:25 am: Canned food is only good when there is nothing left to eat in the house, or when you need a quick side dish for a meal. ;) We all know that fast food is far superior, even if it is making our stomachs and waistlines grow ever larger as we lick the left over ketchup from the waxed paper wrapper. :sad1:

Post by: the_mrophling_916 on January 08, 2011, 02:09:39 am: Canned (hopefully homemade goes along with it) is probably better for you, but im a sucker for that fast food. its quick and cheap. But of course i can never turn down a homemade meal from the wife.

Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: tyler8784 on January 08, 2011, 12:37:42 pm: Canned Food is healthier for you then fast food is. I like canned food, but i also like fast food but when I do go out and eat I try to get a salad that way I know I am eatting a little healthy but I always have canned corn, green beans, and peas in my cupboards, but I also have frozen peas in my freezer so if you are trying to figure out which one is healthier it all depends on what you like better canned food or fast food in the end it is your choice.
Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: Mojoshog on January 08, 2011, 12:44:16 pm: I think they have both gotten much better in recent years. Or at least there are more healthy choices. It really depends more on the specific product or menu item than which of these 2 categories but I would enjoy fast food more so that would be my choice.

Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: clickers on January 15, 2011, 06:37:14 am: The mean culprits in fast foods is the grease and the salt. There is also salt & preserves in canned foods, so it's a matter of degrees.
Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: tjshorty on January 15, 2011, 07:06:25 am: LOL did you mean better for you or better tasting? Other than this post I never thought about it either way. I don't eat much of either one any more. I am leaning more towards the less processed the better. So I would think canned for better health, but taste, well sometimes a Big Mac hits the spot.
Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: tyler8784 on January 15, 2011, 02:33:17 pm: I also think it all depends on what you think is healthier for you and what you want to eat i think canned is better but i also like fast food
Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: adg35 on January 15, 2011, 10:23:47 pm: They are both equally bad for you......... they are both processed foods with hidden MSG. Fresh fruits and vegetables no worries there!!

Post by: tyler8784 on January 25, 2011, 06:45:16 pm: I think it really depends on what you think is healthier for you to me i think canned food is healthier cause there is all that grease and salt that is in fast food so really whatever one you want to believe is healthier :heart:
Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: jamesmucker15 on January 25, 2011, 07:42:02 pm: My opinion would be canned food because of organic nutrients or ingredients that some whole foods would have. Like for example, canned food of Green Beans would be healthy in my opinion because it would have the right nutrients in taste as well as lasting for a long period of time before it expires. :notworthy:

Title: Re: Fast food or canned food..which one is better ?
Post by: mstachitus on January 29, 2011, 06:41:59 pm: Is this a question? Who wants to eat out of a can? Fast food is more desirable by far, but canned food is probably cheaper and healthier (in some circumstances).

Post by: Shmooi on February 21, 2011, 09:05:54 am: Depends on what I'm in the mood for. :)
Canned can be healthier and a whole lot cheaper, especially if you're creative with leftovers.
