I've been trying to think of things commonly sold in supermarkets that are not fresh and that are more healthy than fruits, and after a few minutes I have to say I came up blank.
Maybe vegetable soup? Not sure if you can get a good soup at the supermarket.
Care to share a few examples?
Whole grains, lentils, frozen vegetables, plenty of meats, fish, eggs. These come to mind. In the perfect world I would give fruits a blanket stamp of approval (I know right, the self-importance). But almost nobody I know don't already have plenty of sugar in their diet, which means fruits just compound that. That's not to mention that selective breeding has made our fruits unnecessarily sweet (try the most popular apple types after not having any sweets for a few weeks).
Of course though, there are lots of fruits and many of them are great as long as they're not processed (e.g. smoothies).
I generally just go for vegetables. Getting into them can be tough but once you do they're a game changer for your palate.
Pedanticism aside, fruits are miles better than almost any sweets. So if you do manage to replace cake time with fruit time, congrats. That's a huge step.
I think you're both on the same side of things but had a comm glitch on the word "fresh". You think of fresh as being totally unprocessed, Wols think of fresh as being minimally processed (I believe they count whole grains, legumes, and dried vegetables as fresh)
That does indeed seem like the hangup in this case, and it's on me; I should have used a less vague word or else clarify.
To me fresh is anything that hasn't been processed for preservation (except drying). So cheese isn't fresh, heat treated milk/cream isn't fresh, smoked and cooked meats aren't fresh, pickled foods aren't fresh, frozen foods aren't fresh and anything with actual preservatives added is definitely not fresh.
"raw" would probably have been the better word to use.
Also, having thought about my own understanding of the word a bit more in depth, I'll concede that some pickled veggies are pretty healthy, as well as yoghurt.
You were right with all three examples.
