Product 1 Product 2

After comparing Product 1 (Skippy) & Product 2 (JIF) my choice would be the 2nd product. I chose this product based on my current diet and family’s eating habits. Within the past year my family has chosen to eat healthier and I have also started a diet that consist of watching my calorie intake, eating healthier and exercise.

The faster they are frozen after picking the more nutrients they will retain. While fresh vegetables have a lifespan of only a week to two, frozen vegetables can last much longer in your freezer. So I would still chose the fresh carrots just because I would cut out the higher calories and sugars that are put into the honey...
