Darn. I wanted a 'None of the above' option. Since I live alone, if I don't make the meals, there's no meals. My cooking varies, depending upon various factors such as work, work travel, what kind of day I had, etc. Sometimes it'll be stuff from scratch, sometimes it'll be something from the freezer tossed into the microwave or oven, sometimes it'll be box-food to which I'll add a bit.
And then there's leftovers. I dunno where they fall in the survey. I'm a big proponent of cooking up a meal that'll give me a couple more meals.
As for vegetables, I'll admit to being bad about my consumption of 'em. For some reason, I never made that leap from childhood hatred of vegetables to adult acceptance of them. Most make me want to gag. I guess I'm just finicky or something. My vegetable consumption tends to be the boring tame stuff like peas, corn, and greenbeans. I do like spinach (raw, not cooked) and will generally use it in place of lettuce in salads.
Leftovers count as whatever they started as. If it was made from scratch, it still is. If it's leftover frozen dinner, it still is.
The American hatred of vegetables is incredibly stupid, and born of an tremendously unimaginative cuisine that has traditionally treated vegetables as ornamental trimmings rather than the grand and varied things they really are. I agree that wilted broccoli and mushy peas are disgusting, but good vegetables sensibly prepared are gourmet food. And really, a good fresh salad (which does not mean the spotty lettuce and crunchy tomato they offer you in most places) simply can't be beat.
