    Flash frozen vegetables keep more of their nutritious value than most of the supposed fresh produce you buy in supermarkets.
    Produce and fruit is picked long before maturity and that greatly reduces the nutrients you get from it. Couple that with the way its handled and the length of time it takes to get the wholesaler than to the reseller some of its worthless.

    Actual farm markets are the best, markets set up right at the farm where its grown. Thats they best your going to get. Everything ive read said frozen vegetables are absolutely more consistent with their nutrition.

    Frozen dinners and frozen vegetables arent even close. Frozen dinners have as much fat and salt and preservatives as they can stick in it.
    Frozen veggies are just that. Sadly they dont taste as good as really fresh produce

    Millions Either Malnourished or Obese...

    Study of Nutrition Crisis Finds Millions Either Malnourished or Obese
    November 03, 2017 — Almost every country in the world now has serious nutrition problems, either because of overeating leading to obesity or a lack of food leading to undernutrition, according to a major study published Saturday.
    Researchers behind the Global Nutrition Report, which looked at 140 countries, said the problems were thwarting "human development as a whole" and called for a critical change in the response to this global health threat. The report found that while malnutrition rates were falling globally, their rate of decrease was not fast enough to meet the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030.

    More than 155 million children under age 5 are stunted because of lack of nutrition, and 52 million are defined as "wasted," meaning they do not weigh enough for their height, the report said. At the other end of the spectrum, overeating is taking a heavy toll on people of all ages worldwide: The report found that 2 billion of the world's 7 billion people are now overweight or obese. In North America, a third of all men and women are obese.


    Worldwide, at least 41 million children under 5 are overweight, and in Africa alone, 10 million children are now classified as overweight. "Historically, maternal anemia and child undernutrition have been seen as separate problems to obesity and noncommunicable diseases," said Jessica Fanzo, a professor at Johns Hopkins University in the United States who co-led the Global Nutrition Report. "The reality is they are intimately connected and driven by inequalities everywhere in the world. That's why governments ... need to tackle them holistically, not as distinct problems."

    Donor funding for nutrition rose by just 2 percent to $867 million in 2015, the report found. It said funding needs to be "turbocharged" and called for a tripling of global investment in nutrition to $70 billion over 10 years. The Global Nutrition Report is an independently produced annual analysis of the state of the world's nutrition. It tracks progress on targets for maternal, infant and young child nutrition and on diet-related chronic diseases adopted by World Health Organization member states.

    Nutrition isn't rocket science.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I see the malnourished child held by a perfectly nourished parent and blow a fuse. Why are you fed and your child not, you $#@! parents?
