Blanching stops the enzyme action and give far superior frozen veggies, that's why it is suggested that you do it. You'll live if you eat the veggies without blanching them, especially if they are frozen for only a short time.
But after putting so much work into growing them, don't you want your veggies to actually taste good and be in prime condition when you finally choose to eat them, and more so if you spend your hard-earned dollars on them? It's best not to take any short-cuts when putting food up.
