Example number one. I agree it’s not as tasty as fresh, but often times the canned and frozen veggies have MORE vitamins and minerals than fresh, simply because the fresh one has had more time to break down.
most of it is loaded with sodium preservatives
You can just look at the labels and see that isn’t true. Hell, you don’t even need to get up, just check out Walmart brand canned or veggies online and look at the label.
and other chemicals.
Everything is a chemical. This is a meaningless propaganda phrase from the organic food playbook. You are literally proving my point.
is it better than not eating vegetables at all? sure
Uhhh yeah, if you can’t afford fresh vegetables, or its not available near you, eating frozen/jarred/canned is absolutely fine. It’s not bad for you in any way, and far superior to premade crap.
i was SHOCKED in college when I found out vegetables can taste good, instead of being disgusting mushy nastiness.
It’s nice to hear that you have the option of fresh fruits and veggies. I also take that for granted, but its important to remember many people don’t have that option. And they are just as susceptible to propaganda as you, so they don’t buy frozen or canned vegetables because it’s vaguely “bad for you” somehow in some undefined way. And they end up getting obese because they eat stuff that’s much worse.
