3 reasons to stay away from processed foods:

Processed foods contain no nutrients.—You can eat and eat and eat these foods and still wind up being undernourished since these foods have nothing that your body needs and you just end up wasting a ton of energy digesting stuff which just ends up going in one way and coming out the other.
Processed foods do not contain water.—Your body needs the water that is contained in fresh fruits and vegetables to help carry nutrients to all parts of your body and to cleanse your system of toxins. Water is generally not a popular additive to most processed foods resulting in the stuff being heaped onto the pile of waste and leaving you feeling more toxic than ever.
Processed food leave you feeling hungry.—As said in the first point, processed foods really have nothing your body needs. So after you eat them, your body will continue to tell you that you are hungry since you really obtained nothing of value from the food you stuffed yourself with. Processed food just becomes filler with no real value to you.

Keep up with the habit of getting your meals fast and hassle free and a vicious cycle of malnutrition will develop. You will feel hungry and eat, but then still feel hungry so you will eat more and so on. Do not be surprised if you already have a digestive disorder of some type already creeping up on you. If you are looking ofr a good way to cure your GERD, acid reflux, and other stomach problems, do not go get some pills, instead go to the grocery store and pick yourself up some real fresh foods.
