Good Thing Someone's Worrying About What We Eat

Now it's PVHS:

As budgets tighten and families look for ways to pinch pennies, a wage cut or a lost job can change how people eat.

When a trip to the grocery store makes a big dent in the piggy bank, it's sometimes easy to reach for boxed and processed fruits that offer quantity but not quality while bypassing fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, experts say.

Of all of the things to worry about in this world...

Now we're worrying that boxed and processed fruits are not up to the same quality as fresh fruit?  So we're somehow damaging our health by eating applesauce instead of fresh apples or canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes? 

And then there's this non sequitor:

A recent American Heart Association survey of 1,000 Americans found that 42 percent planned to make changes in the next six months that may impact their health, such as buying fewer fruits and vegetables.

Wait... weren't we talking about fruits versus fruits?  Let's jump to the obligatory hit on fast food:

"People may be eating out less, but on the other hand people tend to still eat highly processed, convenient foods," Morales said. "Fast foods are still a common behavior."

And, finally, pre-made meals:

People go for the boxed, all-in-one pasta bake rather than buying fresh peppers and broccoli for stir-fry.

So I guess my traditional summer diet of Spaghettios, hot dogs and Fla-Vor-Ice is out?
