Microwaved Vegetables

I had the busiest weekend of my year (also known as sorority recruitment) and I came across a contradiction in the Michael Pollen diet. I'm really trying to keep my diet healthy (which comes in handy for this experiment) and follow the "Whole Foods" diet as much as my schedule/budget allows. This last weekend I found it IMPOSSIBLE to cook for myself; I barely had time to eat at all. So microwaved meals from the C-Store and mac n' cheese from flambeaux's became a staple in my diet. I started thinking about all the pre-packaged microwave meals that are offered in the C-store as well as groceries all over the country that are marketed towards the health-conscious. Amy's certified organic meals are even sold at whole foods as "healthy" vegan options to fast-eating. However, according to Pollen, just because a food is labeled "organic" does not make it good for you. I started to wonder about the new line of vegetables that you steam-cook by microwaving. Are these bad for you too? All of these options are healthier than the cup of greasy cheese and noodles I get from flambeaux's. So this caused me to question: how far is too far in the search for healthy foods? Should we always snub our noses at microwaved options or can we sometimes substitute the healthiest options (fresh foods; homecooked meals) for time and budget considerations in order to maximize our success. Microwave vegetables=more money in our wallets and time on our hands. If it is relatively healthy, how can this be a bad thing?
