Are the health values of food items that you cook up yourself based on the ingredients you use just like calorie and nutrient content or are they predetermine by the item itself.

So, if you have a campfire hotdog for example. Does it matter whether it is made from a precataclysm hotdog with mystery meat and who know how much artificial flavouring, preservatives and other chemicals in it or a bratwurst made from organic free range deer meat that you shot yourself.
