The Benefits of home cooking.
More now than ever, the benefits of home cooking should be very apparent!
Rapidly rising food cost and guaranteed massive rises in fuel cost can only
spell misery into the future.
Households currently struggling with the current global economic slowdown,
face increased prices at the till and if you are a TV dinner family, your weekly
food bill is going to skyrocket!
TV dinners have a part in all our lives, but if these are your staple food
source, its time to rediscover the kitchen and take control of your finances and
possibly creating a healthier you..
Lets take a family of 4 as an example:
4 microwaveable or oven cook lasagnas at the super market might cost £7/8.
The equivalent amount of money will buy all the ingredients required to make and
cook nearly treble the amount of food! This one cooking session in the kitchen,
could save you up to £14!
The problem TV dinners face it that the product has to made, packaged and
delivered before the end user heats it up and eat's it. All processes involve
the use of fuel, a decreasing commodity which means increased cost!
So lets look at a possible manufacture scenario of the TV Dinner vs.
the humble home made dinner.
TV Dinners
Purchase the raw ingredients. These could be delivered from anywhere in the
world, which involves fuel, destined to increase in price and don't forget the
fuel used to grow the produce.
Prepare and cook the ingredients. Maybe not diesel and petrol this time, but
gas and electric. Again destined to increase in price.
Packaging. The trail for this is mind boggling, but all processes are very
reliant on fuel.
Delivery possibly by air or boat and then by lorries.
Storage, either refrigerated or frozen. Both take significant amounts of
electricity. And finally, your bit of petrol or diesel to go and buy it and take
it home, and some gas or electric to heat it.
Phew, even in its simplified form a TV dinner takes a huge amount of fuel to
produce and deliver.
Contrast this with a home cooked meal.
Raw ingredients can be purchased locally but none the less need fuel to grow
and harvest. Packaging is usually a lot less than with pre prepared food, but
still has a fuel cost. And finally delivery to where you will purchase it from.
The same costs apply to buying and cooking the product but it is easy to see
that home cooking must return to a daily ritual because of the simplified route
to you plate. Fuel is going to become more expensive no doubt! That's a shocking
thought and adds weight to rediscovering the kitchen and becoming less reliant
on TV Dinners.
