• What are the differences between canned fruit or vegetables and fresh fruit or vegetables?

According to the article canned or frozen vegetables & fruit have a similar nutritional value to fresh ones. It means that if you usually have fresh food leftovers that go bad you can switch to frozen or canned to help preserve your food.

• What "convenience" foods do you enjoy? Why should you try to avoid them?

I like mac 'n cheese, hot dogs, ramen, and frozen burritos. I probably can make fresh burritos, avoid eating ramen & hot dogs too often, and maybe look for recipes or ideas to replace the mac 'n cheese.

• What tips can you give your parents from this article?
