| 714.1 | CUP O NOODLES | CSSE::MARCOTTE | | Tue Jan 14 1992 20:52 | 5 |
| I think it is quite high - I know they are VERY high in salt
content. I believe most of these "packaged" foods are really
not that nutritious.

| My tenet is not to buy stuff that isn't labeled. Easier here in the UK
than in the US, laws being different and all, labelling is or will
shortly be, compulsory.

| Andy, labelling is soon going to become compulsory in the US. They are
totally revamping the labelling laws. The latest issue of Consumer
Reports has a very interesting article on it...

| 714.4 | Funny you should ask!! | ESMAIL::AZARIAN | | Fri Jan 17 1992 17:06 | 7 |
| In last months Consumer Digest (Not Consumer Report) they evaluated a zillion
different instant soups and canned soups. It's everything you always
wanted to know about soup and were afraid to ask.... and after you read
it you won't wonder why you cant lose weight if you're eating those
things for lunch as I was.

| 714.5 | try Fantastic Foods ones... | TLE::DBANG::carroll | a woman full of fire | Fri Jan 17 1992 20:44 | 10 |
| If you want good packaged soup, I really like the "Fantastic Foods"
cup-o-rice things. They come in cups similar to cup-a-noodle cups,
but with flavors like "Jumpin' Black Bean
Soup", "Curried Rice and Lentils", "Couscous and Lentils", "Cajuns
Red Beans and Rice", and "Vegetarian Chili". They are tasty, and
low in fat (some have no fat added at all).
I buy them in the health food aisle at Purity Supreme.

| 714.6 | Pasta too | ESCROW::ROBERTS | | Mon Jan 20 1992 15:58 | 7 |
| re .-1
Yes, these are great. They also have pasta varieties now. I tried the
vegetable Parmesan last night and it's relly good. 4 gr of fat and 9
gr of protein. That's almost as good a ratio as skim milk.

| 714.7 | Love those Leapin Lentils!
| ESMAIL::AZARIAN | | Mon Jan 20 1992 18:28 | 10 |
| That whole variety of soups is featured in Vegetarian Times. When I ran across
them at Purity (even the health food stores don't seem to carry them) It was
a stroke of luck. My 6 year old thought she died and went to ... where ever
6 year olds go when they pig out!
The meals also have a high fiber content when compared with regular "ad H20"
type lunches. .... now if I could just find them on sale!!! (Less than $1.49
a piece)

| 714.8 | cheaper than buying lunch at the cafe, tho... | TLE::DBANG::carroll | a woman full of fire | Mon Jan 20 1992 19:57 | 5 |
| They are kind of expensive. I wonder if BJ's or some other wholesaler
sells them in bulk? I imagine that keep virtually forever...anyone
wanna split a case? :-)

| 714.9 | They don't stock "Health" food! | ESMAIL::AZARIAN | | Thu Jan 30 1992 18:11 | 9 |
| I've never seen healthy instant soups at Costco's (I haven't done BJ's in
a few years!)
I'm game for a whole case. They're nifty. Maybe we could contact the company
and make a "bulk rate" request.
Someone let me know. A healthier cheeper lifestyle would benefit me greatly.

Thanks,

The .99 price is the everyday price {at least it is every time
I have gone into the store}.
They have alot of good things like that!
