There is nothing unhealthy about microwaved dishes.

In fact, frozen food, a primary candidate for the microwave, may be just as good as fresh food, sometimes better depending on the process and on how fresh the "fresh" food is. Also microwaving is actually a healthy way of cooking things.

It all depends on what you put inside your microwave. Healthy food is healthy, junk food is junk, but the microwave has nothing to do with it.

This is true for at least a lot of frozen food, but doesn't speak to the distribution of available microwaved dishes.

As you say healthy food is healthy, but there may not be a lot of it available in your local freezer aisle. Or there may, depends where you live and shop I suspect.

Yes but doesn't preparing the food require at least a semblance of a kitchen? I mean you need a fridge, a sink, a countertop and all the utensils. Adding a real stovetop/oven combo doesn't take up that much space.

Ordering in is probably just as bad unless you really go out of your way to order healthy.

I could be a lot healthier in many ways.

That's probably true for 99% of us?

So...what?
