• KFC is launching a new HEALTHY sandwich– two pieces of fried chicken sandwiching bacon & cheese!
  Oh, I said, “healthy,” huh? April Fools! Click here for the deets. In the spirit of objective info., I’ll just note that while the writers of the piece say the 540-calories price tag is “whopping” — you can just as shockingly get a salad at Claim Jumper for double the calories — the Bleu Cheese Wedge has 1114 calories, 30g sat. fat, & 1839 mg sodium. Just sayin’.
• Enter Cedar Lane Natural Foods’ (maker of awesome frozen food) “Stock Your Freezer for Free” contest here! You can enter every day for a chance to win a year’s worth of frozen food. (News via Hungry Girl here)
• More calorie/nutritional data to become transparent at restaurant chains NATIONWIDE! See here! (News via Hungry Girl here — Have you signed up to receive their daily e-newsletter yet?)
• Is the NY State Health Commissioner’s proposed “soda tax” a good idea? Click here.
• Have you seen Jamie Oliver’s reality t.v. show “Food Revolution”? Click here — it’s shocking how desperately we need school lunch reform and food education for children. Click here to sign his petition.

Do you think  you can conjure up a more disturbing sandwich than KFC’s new Frankenstein sandwich? I’d love to hear your ideas (because I’m sick like that…)!

Heat & Eat Foods at Trader Joe’s (Vegan-Friendly)

Sesame Soba Noodles with Asian Vegetables $2.99

Nutritional Info. for 1 bowl: 250 calories, 4g fat, 610mg sodium, 3g fiber, 9g protein

Vegan Pad Thai with Tofu $2.29


Umm I don’t have a picture of the inside because I ate it too soon lol. It looks just like the soba noodle one except with more noodles and little pieces of tofu!

Nutritional Info. for 1 bowl: 600 calories, 7g fat, 840mg sodium, 3g fiber, 18g protein

The Pad Thai has quite a bit of calories and sodium for one meal, but I don’t see why you couldn’t eat half and just add a bag of steamed veggies to the mix. Or you could just ravenously eat the whole thing, shrug and go “eh, at least it’s got a lot of protein!” (<– that’s what I did!).

Coupons — One for Free Vegan ‘Cheese’!

I’ve accumulated some coupons and was wondering if anyone wanted them. First to reply that he/she wants one/all of ‘em, gets ‘em.

• FREE Galaxy Product (Vegan cheese, rice cheese, veggy cheese…) (I’ve got two of these)
• Save $1.00 on any Galaxy Nutritional Foods — Rice, Veggy, Rice Vegan or Vegan Product
• $1.50 off a Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal or Crackers (I’ve got 3 of these)
• And for all my pals who eat out, here’s a coupon for $1.00 off a grilled chicken salad at Jack in the Box and $2.75 off a chicken breast meal at El Pollo Loco — two healthier options from fast-food joints. (Hey, sometimes economy trumps health-zealousness, right Maslow?)

Do you guys ever eat microwaveable meals? If so, which are your favorites? Are you guys coupon hounds?

p.s. Did you guys hear the new Hungry Girl book coming out March 30 is now available for pre-order? The first 2000 people who buy two copies and complete and submit receipts and an entry form could win a CASE of Popchips. It would be dangerous for me to have a case of Popchips since a) I could eat a case of Popchips. in.one.sitting. Annnd most of the varieties aren’t vegan. Anywho — you can pre-order the book for $10.79 from amazon here.
