Because we all know it's hard to do that sometimes.
What are the differences between canned fruit or vegetables and fresh fruit or vegetables?
Canned foods are obviously not as fresh as fresh foods and make lack the crispness that a lot of people enjoy in foods like fresh tomatoes. Not all fruits and vegetables are available canned. If they are it is important to note whether they are sitting in 100% fruit juice/water or syrup. Syrups have added corn syrup and sugar and are unhealthy. But canned foods in juice can be pretty much as healthy as their fresh counterparts.
What "convenience" foods do you enjoy? Why should you try to avoid them?
All of them. Just kidding. I'm a sucker for peanut chocolate bars like Reese's or others like Crispy Crunch and orange Aero. Mmm! Chocolate milk is my big downfall when it comes to drinks. I should try to avoid these because they are rather cheap, giving the appearance that I'm not spending that much money on them. But because they are so easy to find if I am buying them often I may overspend and not have enough cash for healthy food later. Plus they are plain old bad for my health.
What tips can you give your parents from this article?
Don't worry about your daughter when she moves out. She knows what she's doing. ;)
But for real, I don't know if there's much. We've been practicing shopping healthy for cheap for years now. Maybe I can help find less processed foods when I shop for groceries with them.
