How does time affect the use of convenience foods?
Convenience foods are, ultimately, processed foods. They are not fresh, nor are they as healthy as fresh foods. Processed products can often remain "good" for a very long period of time because so many chemicals were added to them to keep them "usable" for a long time. While fresh fruits and vegetables remain fresh for a week or two, frozen foods or processed pastries will be edible for months. Also, processed foods often contain excessive amounts of sugar, sodium, and saturated fats - things that should not make up the majority of a person's diet.

Does less processed foods mean natural foods?
Yes and no. Unprocessed foods are natural foods such as vegetables, grains, meats and fish. These are often consumed without mechanically, or chemically processing before reaching your kitchen. However, minimally processed foods, such as flour, cocoa, corn, butchered meats and so on are still natural. Highly processed foods such as cooking oils, boxed cereals, American cheese [not real cheese], frozen dinners, ...etc. obviously are not "natural" foods, but processed either chemically or mechanically. {cooking is a mechanical processing}. So processing does not necessarily determine if a food is "natural" but the more processing done the less natural a food may be. Organic foods and genetically engineered foods are two other categories which do not necessarily determine how "natural" a food might be. Genetically modified organisms might be labelled as "natural" just as organically grown foods can be processed such that they are no longer "natural". [for instance: organic American cheese] Note: Monosodium Glutamate [msg] is a highly processed salt substitute which is often labelled as a "natural flavoring". The label "natural" on food products can be, and is, applied liberally to both unprocessed and processed foods.
