CALIFORNIA PRE-PROCESSED FOOD

Californians should not eat pre-processed foods.  We are the world’s breadbasket.  We have the most-productive farmland in the world.  Our farmers grow a dizzying array of fruits, vegetables, and food animals.  Californians should save money and support our agricultural industry by eating fresh, healthy, California-grown food.

 

But if you must sacrifice goodness for convenience:

Amy’s Kitchen:  Petaluma-based Amy's makes frozen and canned options that are relatively healthy, and about as tasty as not-fresh food can be. 

 
Annie's: Berkeley-based Annie's makes a variety of organic, pre-packaged foods, including soups, canned foods, refrigerated dough, baking mixes, and frozen foods.  Their Mac & Cheese is a guilty pleasure for many of my otherwise-strict farm-to-fork foodie friends.
