| Board Supporter  | Canned vs. Fresh Veggies. Common sense would lend that fresh veggies are better than canned. I generally eat a can of carrots, greenbeans, limas, etc along with a meat for most of my meals. How beneficial would i be to switch to fresh, are the canned veggies processed enough to lose most of their nutritional content? |

| Registered User  | i was always told frozen veggies maintain their nutrients more then fresh or canned. For the reason they are picked at their peak then frozen. Fresh veggies look good on the display but they have been sitting around for awhile and tend to loose their nutritional content. |

| Member | i'd go for fresh, but the truth is....if you're cookin em, you're cooking out almost all of the nutritional value except fiber anyway, but i'd still go frozen/fresh. i don't miss all that damn sodium either in the frickin cans! |

| Registered User | the only thing i get that is canned is is corn and beans..hmmm...i work in the produce department at a grocery store and the fresh veggies would sometimes sit on the display for almost a week and still look pretty good, depending on what the veggie is of course. I really don't cook my veggies but just thaw them out. |

| Board Supporter | I would think the main difference would be the salt content- much higher in canned. |

| Registered User   | How about lack of fruit and vegatable intake? I maybe get a couple of servings a day at most. Is it a must to get your 5 a day? Hell Yeah. |

| Unbound  | Frozen and then steamed the only way for me In every moment YOU choose the experience you are having. The life you are living right now is the culmination of the choices you have made up to now. If you are not experiencing the life you want, simply make different choices. |

| The Spherics of the Muse | veggies that are frozen and shipped to the grocer's are *NOT* "picked at their peak. They have to be packed, weighed, washed, shipped, processed, and THEN frozen. If you want your veggies picked at their peak and then frozen - grow 'em & freeze 'em yourself. Short of that, buy organic @ local markets, and only buy a couple days' worth each trip. "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. ...It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908 |
