Home preparation with raw fresh ingredients is better: good sense about food!

"This study shows that neither recipes created by popular
television chefs nor ready meals produced by three leading UK
supermarket chains meet national or international nutritional
standards for a balanced diet. The recipes seemed to be less
healthy than the ready meals on several metrics. Maximum
nutritional benefit is likely to be derived from home cooking of
nutritionally balanced recipes primarily using raw ingredients,
rather than relying on ready meals or recipes by television chefs.
Further reformulation of ready meals in line with international
nutritional guidelines, and collaboration with television chefs
to improve the nutritional quality of their recipes, may also help
consumers to achieve a balanced diet."
