Are prepackaged convenience foods (frozen, canned, microwavable, etc.) allowed in the NeanderThin program?
Although not categorically eliminated, most prepackaged foods contain one or more of the forbidden foods and should be avoided. On a case-by-case basis, this can only be determined by carefully reading labels. Because of their low government subsidy costs, unnatural foods are often used as cheap fillers in a wide variety of products. Often, soy is added to meat products, flavored corn syrup is substituted in fruit juices, and starch from corn is added to almost anything. Some prepackaged foods such as frozen fruit juices are lacking for what is not there. Fruit juice from concentrate has had most of the fiber, protein, and vitamins removed, leaving only the sugar and should, therefore, not be seen as a substitute for real fruit juice or fresh fruit.
