In her blog, Jennifer writes about the difference between homemade or "real" macaroni and cheese and the famous Kraft's Mac 'n' Cheese aka "fake" macaroni and cheese. She begins by explaining how the Kraft macaroni follows what Americans typically eat; artificially colored, chemically preserved, vitamin fortified or "fake" food. She then dives into how as a child her mother would make the real version with whole wheat noodles, American cheese and broccoli. However as she got older she came to the same result as many people and began to rely on the Kraft product due to the convenience.
Jennifer doesn't just state her opinion that the real version is better but then begins to state actual figures and nutritional facts (such as that the fake version only has 5 minerals in the noodles whereas the real has almost double with 9 minerals.) to fully convey her point.
I completely agree with Jennifer and her conclusion that the real version of almost any given food will always be superior to the mass produced version. I also agree though that as we get older and our lives pick up their pace that we aren't always able to get to the real version due to time or financial constraints. Overall Jennifer did a great job defending this point.
