Poll: Frozen Dinners and other processed items

For the record: Fresh, whole foods are always a better choice. Frozen dinners are full of sodium, sugars, simple carbs and chemical colorings and preservatives.

the average fruit and veggie from the grocery store is also full of chemicals and poisons. from them adding chemicals to ripen faster for sale, to them spraying chemicals to detour bugs... unless your eating food off an amish farm, or atleast from your own garden, your eating a bunch of chemicals and poisons no matter how "clean" you eat. the majority of people buy thier food from a grocer, where the meet is full of hormones, and the fruits and veggies full of chemicals!

whats the orac value of a peach now, compared to 50 years ago? its a huge difference! 50 years ago, things were grown naturally, now they arent.

I say, be aware of what you're buying. There's a huge difference in quality out there between something like Hungry Man and something like Kashi or Amy's Organics. Read up on what chemicals and things to look out for and if it has a simple, pronounceable ingredient list, then go for it.

There's also a huge difference in "granola" bars as well. From a completely processed bar to something like a Kind bar that is all natural.

It's all about reading the labels and knowing what's in what you're eating.

For example: I eat Greek yogurt every day. I usually always get Chobani. Nothing really suspect on that label. They were out of blueberry one day and the store brand Greek yogurt was on sale so I picked some up. As I was eating it, I read the label. Not only was it not as good as Chobani and didnt have as much protein in it but it also contained blue dye and artificial sweetener!!! Two things that are not healthy and that I try to avoid. Goes to show why comparing labels really makes a difference.
