Hi, all. I'm getting older, and my doctor says I need foods with less
cholestoral, lower fat, low salt, etc. What a pain. Hope someone can
help me out here.

I am accustomed to eating foods that I like, and making them quick and
dirty. (I do NOT have time to cook.) I eat a lot of frozen dinners,
frozen ravioli, stuff like that. Swanson TV dinner type foods. The
doctor says those dinners contain tons of crap, which is not good for
me.

I went to my nearest "healthy foods" type of supermarket, here in the
DC metro area. The TV dinners I found there fall into one of two
categories:
1. Vegetable matter, masquerading (poorly) as meat. That is, lots of
Tofu type products, dressed up as meatloaf and such.
2. Frozen dinners based on exotic cuisines, such as Thai. I don't
eat Thai. I eat American, Italian, and Chinese. And American. Or
did I say that already?

My tastes are very plain American. I like chicken, beef, turkey,
mashed potatoes, rice, familiar garden vegetables, lasagna, plain Jane
American foods (and a few ethnic foods, like a lot of Italian dishes,
that have become Americanized over time). I want to find low-fat,
low-salt TV dinners that still have real meat and real potatoes.

So, I asked the guys at the healthy foods supermarket if they could
find some low-salt, low-fat, low-cholestoral TV dinners that have the
same types of food as Swanson TV dinners, and they keep saying they'll
do something about it -- and they don't.

So, I thought I'd help them out. Therefore, and to get to the point:
Can anyone recommend some brand of TV dinners that tastes and looks
like Swanson, except it's not poison for a guy in his early 40s with
high blood pressure and high cholesterol?

Thanks, sincerely, in advance, for all ON TOPIC, ON POINT replies that
don't try to tell me to change my shabby American eating habits, and
don't try to tell me to start cooking.

Steve O.
