How bad is eating tv dinners and hot dogs every night?

My father eats a tv dinner and 2 hot dogs every night. Even when I make homecooked meals he always just eats that crap! I tell him all the time it's horrible but he won't stop buying them. He complains of digestive problems too. Can someone give me some info that I can pass on to him to make him stop?

1. Eating this kind of diet can lead to heart disease, a heart attack, cancer and many other problems. The primary health risk identified for trans fat consumption is an elevated risk of coronary heart disease, and this fat will be prevalent in the foods your dad is eating. He will probably have a raised cholesterol and will be increasing his chances of having a stroke. Not only this but he will likely become obese and may be at risk of diabetes and other conditions associated with obesity. The fact that he is complaining of digestive problems may be indicative that he has bowel or stomach problems which can become serious if they are not treated. I hope this is helpful for you and your dad. Good luck =)
