Object Lesson: Don't Rely On Marie Callender For Healthful Meals

Gee, that looks kinda good. Shrimp. Some pasta. A few pieces of bell pepper. What could be wrong with that for a meal on the go?

I’m so proud of my husband. He ran over to me with this, “look at this. It’s simply outrageous!” I’ve trained him well.

He’s now turning the package over to peruse the ‘nutrition information’.

The calories per serving aren’t too terrible at 380 calories. But YIKES! The saturated fat is 40% and the sodium - get ready for the close-up of your heart muscle in the ER - is 51%! Whatever you paid for this crap, it’s not a bargain when you’re risking a heart attack or stroke.

I didn’t even bother to glance at the faux food ingredients aside from the sodium.
