ETA: He's right about not knowing how to USE fresh vegetables. How to handle them, store them, cook them.
Sauteing/stir-frying seems less bewildering than microwaving. The vegs are right there under my eyes so I can see how done they're getting, also test their texture by stirring them. Also taste samples. No need to drain or add butter.
Same skillet as the meat, too, so no extra clean-up. No can or box to dispose of. If the veg need trimming or washing, that can be done well before the meal, so no time pressure.
Wow the taste!
Of course these are good veg from Whole Foods or farmers' market, though not necessarily organic.
