Rant WFL related
WZ mentioned Campbell's soups.
I hatehatehate the commercial regarding women randomly searching aisles of the grocery store blindfolded. Then revealing that the frozen meals they have are 340 calories...etc.
And then showing that Campbell's only has 60 calories per serving. Um..even at 2 servings a can...120 calories is HARDLY enough for a meal. And at 720 mg of salt per can? (more than that usually) That is a horrible representation of meal.
Rant over.

i agree.
i never noticed the sodium vs. portion size, even though I read the lables. no, it's not a meal. it's a snack for when your stomach is grumbling between meals.
the size of frozen meals for dieting always irked me. it's never a satisfying size. i can eat two at a time if i was hungry enough. so i try and load up on vegetables on the sides when i bring food from home. i think dieters forget you can eat healthy without having to make yourself miniscule portions of food.
It's always best to supplement "diet" meals with extra good stuff, like veggies or whole grains. Even fruit.
For that matter why not just make your own on weekends and freeze it? Most of those things are terrible. The lasagna is pretty tasty, but most of them? Blow, and are loaded with preservatives. Sure, you'll die skinny, but there will also be no need for embalming fluid!
for the love of pete...if it's pre-prepared, it has crap in it.
ANd I say that as someone who has eaten today (I'm having a bad food day, so I'm sticking w/ things that aren't painful when they come back):
fruit cocktail from a can
pop tarts
fruit snacks (Shark shaped :-)
Everlasting gobstoppers
and sugar cubes (yes, literally sugar cubes)
oface, i think it is safe to assume they are stupid.
i don't count much except for the sodium content. pre-packaged foods are loaded with it, so i limit how much crapola i let myself eat. i tend to eat out a lot for lunch, so i read labels when i shop for food i make at home.
