Indeed. Instant noodles are one of the most harmful categories of "food". Not actually food at all, they consist of ultra-processed carbohydrates and artificial flavourings. Plus highly inflammatory ultra-processed oils. Even a bowl of boiled white rice would be more nutritious and less harmful.
I do understand that some vulnerable people do not have proper kitchens or kitchen equipment, but all they need is a small frying pan, some salt, a few eggs and something green and they can make poached eggs with greens: nutritious food at very low cost. Eggs are an incredibly cheap source of nourishment.
