Walk down the frozen aisle at TJs

Oh.
Hmm.
Why should you spend the time when you can just microwave? Don’t you deserve to microwave your food? This is America after all.
I wonder what’s in this. How bad can it be?
Ignoring that the calories from fat comprise almost 70% of the total calories,
THAT IS SO MANY INGREDIENTS!!!

Oh.
If I were making this it would have:
- Eggs
- Potatoes
- Onion
- Olive oil or butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Basil
I didn’t buy it.
In TJ’s defense if you count all the corn based ingredients as one, that’s really only 21 ingredients, not 26. In all seriousness, breakfast foods that are convenient (read:McGriddles or this scramble thing) are usually the worst foods for you. I wonder why…
You would really think a food company’s first priority would be to keep people healthy so that they can live longer and buy more product.
