But at the same time, I consider my own kitchen a "lab" of sorts too, but much different than taking some crappy corn and separating it into a million pieces, all which will be going to a new location for a new purpose. (yeah, the book talks all about this). I have always been one of those RDs who is not so conservative wher eI refuse to eat anything that has been "processed" or "cut, sliced, whatever". If I were, I would go crazy, and so would my clients who are pressed with time. I buy frozen fruits and veggies ALL the time!! I couldn't live without them. Obviously fresh has benefits in itself, but there is a huge difference between frozen veggies (plain) and frozen meals (covered with sauces and preservatives). The word "processed" simply gets a bad rep because of all of the overly-processed foods out there that give the word a bad name. You know??

It's important to define what processed means when writing about the topic and also to ask your patients/clients for their personal definition of processed.<br /><br />Great post!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758932883732204080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-67974211992281152222010-09-09T23:37:21.604+09:002010-09-09T23:37:21.604+09:00You bring up interesting points!
