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.
