Which is part of why, in a below, I mentioned how egregious it was to oversimplify foods to "processed" or not. There needs to be more information disseminated about what kind of convenient foods people _can_ choose and what the impacts are to your health are. Most people would consider frozen or canned fruits and vegetables as more processed, and therefore less good, than fresh fruit or vegetables. Although I do have a bone to pick with your assessment of why "fresh" produce tends to be less nutritious. While you correctly note that frozen or canned items are picked at peak ripeness, the fresh items don't have less nutrition simply because the nutrients "evaporated away". Instead, they have to be picked _far before_ peak ripeness in order to avoid spoilage. That means the plants just take in fewer nutrients.
