Why are ready meals so high in salt?
Primarily because salt is an easy, cheap and effective flavour enhancer. For ready meals to be profitable they need to contain few ingredients, be able to be cooked and assembled quickly, and taste appealing. This means that adding salt to food can be a substitute for other (more expensive) herbs and seasonings, and requires less time than, say, marinading meat in something would require. There is a theory that states when a certain percentage of fat, sugar and salt is added to a food substance (called the "bliss point"), it tricks the brain into thinking that the food is really incredibly tasty. Since fat, sugar and salt are all quite cheap, you can see why ready-meal companies seem to head down this route. Salt is also a preservative as is sugar. These ingredients help stabilize foods to keep them fresh.

Why are convenience foods popular in today's society?
Ready meals are popular because they are convenient. They are useful for people who work long hours and don't have time to prepare a home made meal every day of the week. Ready meals allow them to quickly make their evening meal in minutes. They are also useful for people who don't like cooking or aren't very good at it. Ready meals nowadays come in many different varieties covering different cuisines. This means a novice cook can still enjoy different types of food despite their lack of ability to make it themselves. However, a diet entirely of ready meals is not good for you. Ready meals tend to be full of fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar. A diet high in these is bad for your health. Healthy ready meals can be beneficial to those wishing to lose weight but you must also consider the sugar content of these meals. Sugar is often added to compensate for the loss in fat. However, a diet high in sugar can lead to weight gain as much as fat can. If you are using ready meals to compensate for your lack of ability then try searching online for simple recipes with ingredients that you like. Cooking becomes much easier the more you practice it. If you are using ready meals for convenience then search for quick and healthy recipes that won't take you long to prepare and cook. For example, a stir fry with plenty of vegetables is very quick to make. It is important that you have a balanced diet with plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetables.
