13. I haven't bought them for a couple years

(too expensive on my budget), but when I was buying a lot of them, those are are all almost exclusively what I bought. :scared:

[drm604]

16. I stock up when they're 50% off and I have a coupon.

I think I've bought all three of those at one time or another, but I don't have any at the moment.

7. Hmmm... Mystery meat.

[dipsydoodle]

10. And the moral is

sometimes its safer to be fat - its what your like inside that matters : not outside.

11. what a let down....no melamine? damn. n/t

[antimatter98]

14. Thanks for this. Safer to cross off Lean Cuisine for good.

If this is their quality control in action, people better stop buying the brand
and switch to more honest food sources.

Looks like LC has been taking lessons from the Chinese. Would not be surprised
if this was a 'test' to see how much garbage they could put into their products
before the public caught them. Lord knows, the FDA didn't care.

15. Who would know the difference?

It's Lean Cuisine. They're chicken doesn't even taste like chicken.
