                              FROZEN FOOD

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
Frozen Food Month and recognize the vital role that frozen foods play 
in American households. Frozen food is more than just a convenient 
option. It is a solution to food waste and a way to save families 
hundreds of dollars.
  Studies show that frozen produce is less likely to be wasted compared 
to fresh produce that spoils over time, giving consumers access to 
affordable, nutritious food year-around.
  By freezing food at its peak, we preserve both the flavor and 
nutrients, making it a smart choice for families looking to eat well 
while managing their budgets.
  For millions of Americans, especially those facing time constraints, 
frozen food offers an affordable, easy way to enjoy balanced meals. 
Nearly every American household relies on frozen foods, whether it is 
vegetables, fruits, breakfast items, or even complete meals.
  This March, let's take a moment to recognize the hard work of our 
Nation's frozen food producers and the critical role that frozen foods 
play in keeping America nourished.
