I agree. Frozen veggies are great. The only thing I have read is to not heat them up in the microwave (supposedly it saps out some of the nutrients). Just get a cheap steamer and toss them in there. The best thing about frozen veggies is the various mixes you can get. I usually buy a giant bag of brocoli and then a giant bag of whatever mix I'm feeling.

Unless you have a credible source for your "microwaves destroy nutrients more than other cooking methods", I'd disagree strongly with you. Stopping psuedosciencific rumors in their tracks. :)

It was Alton Brown who said it on Good Eats. A quick search seem says that 'properly' cooking veggies in the microwave is fine. Still looking for a definition of 'properly' though. I'm guessing it just means don't overcook as many people do when heating things in the microwave.

Boiling in water seems to be one of the worst methods, which makes sense because the water can easily leach all of the nutrients[1].

Everyone does agree the best way is simply to steam them.

A recent study conducted in the U.K. showed boiling vegetables that are members of the cruciferous family, including cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprouts, significantly reduces their anticancer properties.

And MW specifically

If you choose to microwave your vegetables, use as little water and as short a cooking time as possible to minimize loss of vitamins.

You support the British National Party? :)

Putting the BNP alongside the US Republican Party is a bit controversial. I'm not sure American politics permits a fair comparison to the BNP (a party that were taken to court before the last general election because their rules essentially didn't permit black people to join) - the Klan are essentially a terrorist/paramilitary organisation. Is there an American Nazi political party?

Putting the BNP alongside the US Republican Party is a bit controversial.

Though not in the context I was under. I was listing organizations that the general swarm of liberal types on sites like HN may feel strongly polarized against.

I could extend the list to something like BNP/Republican Party/Microsoft/SCO's legal fund/the Nazi party - the list is valid even though comparing Microsoft to the Nazi party makes little sense in any other context.
