A Sad SAD Commercial!
I just have to comment on this because this stupid Chunky soup commercial was just on the tube. "What can you do with plain white rice? When you pour Chunky Sirloin Burger soup over it, you can do dinner". Complete with slender woman enjoying a dish that doesn't even look appetizing to me!

Ummm .... Lessee here.
If one eats one eats one cup of this soup (go get out your 1c measuring device and see how little that is!), they get a whopping 8g protein! Good source of fiber my arse! Three grams?? No doubt the sugars are from the tomato and onions, but there's more sugar than fiber in this stuff. Full serving of veggies? What, like one green bean, a baby carrot and a half dozen peas?

What is the main nutritive ingredient in this stuff? Not sirloin burger, but potatoes! It should be called potato soup with sirloin burgers and other starchy veggies.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
In what world would one pour potatoes over white rice and call that a meal?????
For $4 I can buy two huge turkey drumsticks or a pound of beef and a bag of steamfresh veggies - probably broccoli and cauli. That's what I would do with white rice these days!!

The whole "serving of veggies" stuff kills me because in the US potatoes are a vegetable. Fine, I can't get stuck on semantics over what is a seed or a grain or a fruit or a veggie, but Americans ARE eating more veggies than ever before ... too bad those are french fries!! This is NOT what anyone means when they encourage one to eat veggies and fruit. (Don't get me started on the V8 fruit juice crap).
Sometimes I think we would be better without any of the laws because they seem to allow such misleading claims.
It's not the best idea ever, but I would say eat more soup and call it dinner. Pouring it over white rice?
I would like to see this "contains a full serving of veggies" crap stopped.
Right. From tomatoes laced with sugar and oils. On top of a heaping serving of wheat. Awesome.
Maybe we need to re-define vegetables or at least remove potatoes and tomatoes.
The veggie recommendation is intended to be non-starchy veggies, or it should be. Most consider corn a veggie when its a grain. Starchy "veggies" like potatoes should be lumped with the wholegrains, period. It should be whole veggies IMO (OK, chopped and sliced), not pureed.
I rather think these "full serving of veggies" stuff is misleading per my reply to Flavia.
So in addition to the potatoes over rice thing, I have an issue considering most of those veggies what's intended by recommended servings of veggies. Or the soup being considered a good source of protein, over rice or not.
I'm embarrassed to admit I had to look up HB ;)
