Cooking for ‘planetary’ health
The packaging from convenience foods is by far the number one contributor to plastic pollution and represents the epitome of the ‘throw-away’ culture that is creating this crisis. The vast majority of it includes film or bagging that is difficult to recycle. Of the packaging that can be recycled only about nine percent ever actually does, meaning the vast majority of it ends up on landfill or the ocean where it will remain for thousands of years.
With a little consideration, all fresh produce can be sourced without any packaging at all. Home cooking is therefore healthier, cheaper and much better for the environment.
Why then do we spend so much money on packaged food? In a word, convenience. Fresh food doesn’t keep, and so most of us feel that we simply do not have the time to cook on a daily basis.
One answer is to prepare meals in large quantities whilst freezing the excess for another day. This can result in a bank of meals that need only be defrosted when time is tight. The problem Is that this defeats the purpose as a single use freezer bag is required each time. How do our bags rate?
