What's in that Box? Food?

This box contains what I call semi-processed food, meaning you have to add something fresh to the pre measured, pre mixed dry ingredients. The only drawback here is you don't really know what's in the box because you didn't put it there. When I was writing my thesis I came across lots of this, boxed mixes where you add the fresh, wet ingredients. This, coupled with other findings, led me to wonder what I could safely eat. So I learned to read labels, not fully understanding all of the ingredients on that label. More research later I learned that most of those ingredients were perfectly natural & safe to eat. They are just listed by their scientific name. For example, citric acid is vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid. That's perfectly natural. Anyway, this boxed semi-real food produced some tasty results, bananna bread. As far as reading labels, eating boxed or frozen already prepared foods, as long as you use them in moderation & eating as fresh as "possible"meaning using what's out there, is the best option that I've found so far.
