In which situation can home-cooked food also become unhealthy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it contains too much oil, salt and sugar
Home preparation can improve control over ingredients and hygiene, but it does not automatically make a meal healthy. Excess oil increases energy and fat, excess salt raises sodium intake, and excess sugar adds low-nutrient calories. Thus, even homemade food may become unbalanced when these ingredients are used excessively or portions are too large.
