Anastacia Marx de Salcedo argues that, in fact, most processed foods are relatively healthy and that their consumption is an undisputed boon to women's equality--since the burdens of cooking disproportionately fall on women. In de Salcedo's account, processed foods take too much blame for the negative effects of modern sedentary life, and alternative food systems are doomed to economic dysfunction. Ultimately, de Salcedo embraces the preserved foods in her pantry and encourages the reader to do the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnastacia Marx de Salcedo\u003c\/b\u003e is a public health consultant and writer, whose features and essays have appeared in the\u003ci\u003e Atlantic, Salon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlate, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVice\u003c\/i\u003e, and on PBS and NPR blogs.
