If these products are served occasionally with abundant fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads or muffins, they are a reasonably good choice. Delete the butter that the directions call for and replace it with the same amount of fat free cream cheese. This tremendously decreases the fat and adds to the meal's healthfulness. It also tastes great! Kraft Shells and Cheese or Noodle Roni Shells and White Cheddar, or Parmesan Linguini, make tasty, quick meals served with a bowl of tossed salad, purple grapes, and whole-wheat bread with All Fruit Jam. Noodle Roni's Shells and White Cheddar's fat grams go from 16 per cup down to 6 per cup when you replace the 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of fat free cream cheese. And the end result is creamy, rich, and delicious! My family can't tell the difference.
SpaghettiO's and other similar products are also good "B+" Choices. They are low in fat but not extremely high in fiber, so add fiber with lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain breads or rolls.
Remember, the point is not fanaticism it's lifetime liveability!
