A Matter of Taste

     Looking for something to eat, of the single-serving type, I invested in Lean Cuisine Craveables' Spinach, Artichoke & Chicken Panini. I know what panini is though I've never ordered one, and I don't know the last time I savored an artichoke, or eaten spinach for that matter. But the contents listed on the front of the package---white meat chicken,with spinach, artichokes, tomatoes, garlic, cheese & parmesan sauce----sounded appealing and healthy, at least when I was at the store.
    I microwaved half  of the panini sandwich, and got ready to enjoy; I tasted it and it was bitter. So I looked at the small print on the side panel.  There were about 50 or 60 other ingredients listed, including CELLULOSE POWDER and CHICKEN POWDER.  How a chicken is powdered I can only guess. Below the Ingredients list is the statement:  "PARTIALLY PRODUCED WITH GENETIC ENGINEERING"
  PB&J Sandwiches, I'll be back.
