Does frozen food or other packaged foods look more appealing on the box?!


Question: Does frozen food or other packaged foods look more appealing on the box!?
Usually the food looks really appealing on the box, but, when you open it, it looks somewhat different and not as tasty as it looked!. After preparing the food as suggested, i always wondered if i should have cooked my own food instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes - if it looked that way on the box, no one would buy it!. Advertisers will go to great lengths to make products look good in photographs, packaging, commercials, etc!.

Pre-packaged foods are also loaded with sodium and preservatives to make them keep (and sometimes taste) better; they're convenient in a pinch, but more often than not, you're better off cooking for yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah i find it looks more appealing on the box, there was one time i got a chicken sauce one, and it looked delicious on the box and then i opended it up and it looked like some one puked it up, i think were always best off making our own food sometimes at least then we know whats going into it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most of the time, the food on the box was either made by a professional chef or by an artist who makes stuff out of plastic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Look at the picture on the box!. Most of the time they say "serving suggestion" and it's not an actual picture of the food cooked to directions with nothing else done to it!.!. Look carefully!.!.!.you'll see they've done things to it, and/or added things, to make it look more appealing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lol, I know what you mean!. Especially the brocolli, they always show all the florets and inside its mostly stems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well no need to wonder any longer: cook your own from now on :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes the box has a picture of the food freshly cooked!. We get to see it after it has been frozen and put on a shelf!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's to get you to buy it!. I'm almost always dissappointed!. The only one that seems to be accurate is Marie Callendars pot pies, they are almost like homemade!. Cooking it yourself is cheaper and healthier!. You can make a whole pan of lasagna and cut the pieces and put them in individual containers and freeze them, pretty much anything can be frozen for a meal in a hurry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
