What happened to making kids eat their veggies?
I respectfully disagree with the perception of this meal. I see it as an occassional meal not the norm. And actually KFC isn't that bad if you remove the skin/breading. A breast at KFC w/o skin is only 3 points (about the norm), and there are veggies (while not the best healthy way to fix)...potatoes (mashed even the wedges), green beans.
Maybe I think it is not such much the fault of the 'fast food' places but our society but then again it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the parents to teach and educate and let their children know these things are fine in moderation but shouldn't be the norm.

My meals and snacks on maintenance average about 300-350 each. That is 2 or 3 meals and 3 snacks...my dinner is about 400-500 calories. That point I disagree with. However like above I think that even this Snack Wrap in moderation could be very 'mentally' healthy in a healthy lifestyle.

What is this....LOL! I haven't seen any ads about this. Now I am going to have look at. But also remember that unless you have a health issue or a water retention issue many times sodium isn't bad for a person. As for the fat it really depends on the item and how it is prepared.
These are just some of my 'respectful' disagreements with some opinions...and they are just my opinion. Do not mean or intend to offend or argue.
