Marie Callender Kills More People than Pol Pot Ever Did: The 20 Worst Foods of 2009

I'm not the healthiest eater by a long stretch, but one thing I know to avoid is Marie Callender's t.v. dinners.

I'm not a big t.v. dinner fan in general but they do have their uses.

When I'm eating alone, I'll be lazy and indulge.

T.V. dinners go well with homicide on television....unless they surprise you and suddenly show you a very graphic victim photo you weren't expecting. I'm not like that cliche coroner on every crime show who always seems to be eating a Reuben in the autopsy room as others are using the saw on the corpse.

What is it about that cliche? Do they keep a fridge in the autopsy room? I fucking hate that cliche.

Anyway, here's one example of Marie Callender's homicidal intentions:

19: Worst Supermarket Meal

Pot Pie ranked 19th on "worst list." (Marie Callender's) Marie Callender's Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie
1,060 calories
64 g fat (24 g saturated fat)
1,440 mg sodium

Men's Health claimed Marie Callender's was tricky with nutrition information, which said the medium-size entrée has two servings. However, the magazine asked, "When have you ever split a pot pie?"

I'll sometimes pick one up in the store and flip it over just to amuse myself with the Saturated Fat content.

Then I put it back.

The list I took this from is an awesome read.

You should check it out.

Every year they do this list, and usually at least a few of the items get pulled from supermarkets and chain restaurants.

So they are doing God's work.

I noticed Chili's is on here a lot. I ate there one time (search this blog) one night when it was blizzarding and we felt like going out. They were the most accessible so we tried them. And I said "never again" that night. It was one of the worst meals I ever had. I'd much sooner hit a nasty fast food joint.

And T.G.I.F. Who the fuck eats there? That's a yuppie and middle-age alkie hang out. Bad food value always. You can spend less at Red Lobster if you want good, unhealthy food instead of bad, unhealthy food. They might as well all be the same restaurant, those types of places, those "guy restaurants." Applebee's, etc.

It's like "food that you see in commercials for beer." That should be their motto.

I was sad to see Macaroni Grill on here. Despite having one of the worst names for a restaurant chain, they actually have some great stuff on their menu. I hate the Olive Garden's food. I've had a couple really good meals at the Macaroni Grill though. And the decor, atmosphere and service are better at the MG than at the OG.

Or do they spell it "Grille" in a tarde gesture?

Back to the list--I thought it was really funny when they said that to equal the fat in that tiny little Chinese box meal, you'd have to eat 42 Krispy Kreme donut holes lol!! And the #1 Oreo milkshake thing from Baskin-Robbins has as much sugar as TWENTY bowls of Fruit Loops! Ay de mi!

Anyway, enjoy...

I found this at this Phoenix website, but I think it was originally published in Men's Health, which is a good magazine to read free in doctor's or dentist's offices.

Silent serial killers.
