Frozen veggies weren't what I had in mind when I said "frozen" but rather things like frozen "complete dinners" (Banquet, Swanson, so-called "TV dinners") or those frozen prepared entrees from Stouffer or Healthy Choice or whomever.
The object here was to get a feel for two things: what proportion of people prepare actual meals at home frequently as opposed to convenience food, takeout, or restaurants/fast food; and how many have any interest or concern with balance of proteins to carbs, fiber, vitamins, etc.
My impression from seeing what people write and listening to them talk has been that more and more, Americans especially are losing touch with food. They don't know how to shop or prepare it, they have no concept of nutritional balances, and in essence are becoming slaves to the processed and fast food industries. This is a very unscientific first attempt to look at that perceived trend, and at a glance it seems I was wrong.
But when I look at who said what, I'm not so sure. If it is broken down by rough age groups, and those who live outside the US and Canada are separated, I may actually be right.

While, yes, when in season, I cook fresh, frozen raw vegetables shouldn't be in the same category as a TV dinner...
