I never actually advise people to give up processed foods. Because the chances of it happening are miniscule, and it's far more likely to just end up being used as an excuse to not improve their diet at all. But the more you look into it the more shocking packaged food becomes. The mass to serving ratio usually ends up totally shot when compared to the same thing made at home. But it's really the nutritional content that's crazy.  Vegetable soup's the biggest example for me. Most canned soups might as well be soda for the amount of sugar in there and the overall nutritional content. It's almost impressive that people have been able to make vegetable soup so low in vitamins and minerals. I mean how do you make a combination of water and vegetables unhealthy!
