Wednesday Wonderings: Processed Food

There has been a lot in the press recently about horse meat being in food that's meant to contain beef.  I follow Daniel Hardcastle on Twitter, and he tweeted something rather funny about it:

You know, the way this horse meat thing is going I bet we find out that cows don't actually exist.

But the horse meat fiasco got me thinking, along with my two of my trigger foods being dairy and tomatoes, I can't actually eat many processed meals anymore (and I don't eat beef anyway). I used to eat lasagne, carbonara, pizza, all things you can just chuck in the microwave or oven for a couple of minutes. I'm really quite glad though because now I know exactly what is going in to my meals, and I have complete control over all of it. The only things I really miss are spinach and ricotta cannelloni and ravioli.
Plus, this is probably a lot healthier too.
