Shock Horror - Myth Exposed

Exposed : myth that convenience food is unhealthy.

Another case of the headlines telling one story, the details saying something a little different.
This article in the Independent on Sunday online has all the LOOK AT ME tactics you'd expect from a tabloid, or an advertising campaign funded by convenience food manufacturers.
Read the article more closely, and you'll discover ( surprise, surprise) that frozen fruit and veg are very healthy, that if you add high-fat ingredients such as cream to home-cooked food, you are increasing their (unhealthy) fat content, and that it takes more time to cook from scratch. No news there, then. But there we go - the 'myth' has been 'exposed'.
