Free Food!

As part of Ed's infomercial weight-loss program they offered him a free home delivery of food. Who doesn't like free food? So, of course he said yes. We didn't know what to expect but it certainly was not two giant boxes filled with Nutrisystem food. We received the equivalent of a 28 day program in Nutrisystem food to aid Ed in his weight-loss effort.
As you well know we like food, good food, thus the reason for creating this blog. I am not a fan of most prepackaged foods. Which is why I am so luck and so happy to have married Ed who loves to cook and is great at it. Okay, I enjoy some of those Lean Cuisines for lunch because they are easy, cheap and fairly healthy. But Nutrisystem I just couldn't get excited about.

Here Ed displays the thing that sounded most disgusting to both of us; dehydrated scrambled eggs. However, it turned out to be one of the better foods in the pile. I haven't tried too much of the food but the most uneatable item I found was the oatmeal. I normally love instant oatmeal but this stuff was like eating chunky, hot poi or porridge, yuck!
I cannot see how anyone could stay on the Nutrisystem diet. The food is horrible and not even healthy for you. Everything is loaded with sodium and preservatives. It seems the way you are supposed to loose weight on the Nutrisystem diet is through extra large servings of fiber!
Ed has been offered to receive a second shipment of food if he wants it. Maybe we will donate it to charity.
