Now let’s assume you are baking a cheesecake. You will have to prepare a full fat base with the biscuits you will buy from the store. Then you will mix refined sugar and lots of other ingredients and bake in the oven for a long time. Then there is the at least 5-6 hours waiting part. Exhausting, and very, very delicious. But let’s look at it from this point of view: that cheesecake you’ve been trying so hard to bake is no good for you. This kind of diet makes you gain weight in long term, those additives and refined sugar inside will ruin your health gradually. You may say you do not eat cheesecake everyday. Of course not, but I am talking about the nutritional behaviour behind it. And also why would you want to poison your family if you are able to catch the same taste with natural ingredients ?
