I had a summer job for a food manufactuer. Bismark was right that people that like laws and sausages should see how they are made. You don't want to know what parts of an animal qualify as consumer eatable meat. Swanson couldn't sell that if there wasn't a market. They sell to the same people that go to McDonald's for 6 Big Macs for lunch. They want people that don't read the nutrition label and appearantly have no taste.

I would like to put forward the idea that the meal is disgusting both for its constituents in category and the specific ingredients. The only things in there that qualify as food are pancakes and fries. Only the pancakes are breakfast, and only barely. Also, I keep trying to figure out how to make that into a meal that works in a diet that does not end in rapid death. It contain about half of the 2000 calorie diet that people supposedly eat, which means it's actually less than half of an average American's daily calories. Yet with those percent daily value numbers, you'd have to go the rest of the day without fat and with something that gets cholesterol out of you fast. —Alorael, who is seeing visions of someone starting off the day right with that metabolism bomb and then rounding out their diet with fruits, green vegetables, and water. It would make for an interesting diet. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Apparently they toned it down on later models, mostly by replacing the cholesterriffic eggs with surprisingly reasonable French toast. Judging by the account of "Mike"'s reaction, I doubt that the sausage recipe has changed. Posts: 19 | Registered: Wednesday, June 28 2006 07:00 |

That's one of those foods that I swear would explode if you put a match to it. Kind of like fried seafood or Pepe's pizza.

I actually don't think it looks all that bad. Sure the nutritional facts are a little worrying but all in all it isnt that bad. Unless of course your eating it daily. Probably even if you were eating it weekly. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

Wow. The second version actually has more calories than the first version. Swanson's obviously felt that they needed to improve the calorie per gram efficiency. Perhaps they intend to use it for long distance runners or astronauts or something? -------------------- I think this is really wonderful. Posts: 147 | Registered: Tuesday, October 18 2005 07:00 |

If he didn't eat all those calories, I imagine the mere stress would kill him. EDIT: It can be explained simply. The stress of running these forums is not calcuable by a single human. That explains why we have three Admin.

Bacon seemed soggy and unpleasant from the picture. Bacon is best crisp, not quite as much as a good fry or potato chip, but just enough to give a bit of snap and let you know you're eating something that's been cooked. Soggy bacon is worse than no bacon at all. [ Sunday, July 09, 2006 12:43: Message edited by: The Worst Man Ever ] Posts: 794 | Registered: Tuesday, October 11 2005 07:00 |

I also grew up on leftover McDonalds hamburgers that didn't sell whenever my dad closed as night manager, an occupation he held close to 15 years. It probably wasn't the best diet for me while growing up but it didn't seem to affect my health.

I think the bottom line is that Swanson's screwed up. They took good food and made it bad. Likely it is unpalatable, but sheer quantity and stubborness help people finish the meals. Some suggestions I've heard for making it a better breakfast include - more bacon, more calories, better bacon, proper flapjacks, a dash of salt, add some citrus, provide condiments, etc etc... We can make it bigger, better, and stronger, but due to the sheer volume of things on the plate, we are unlikely to get past frying the bacon and sausages before running out of steam. So, dipso facto, it is no longer necessary to cook or eat that much food. Just have sausages (5000 calories worth) one day, then bacon the next, and so on. Hmmm. Hungry now. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I ate a hungry man dinner once, it was free with the rebate, so what the heck? It was actually pretty good, but it took me two days to eat it.
