I had this today and it kinda sucked.

Sorry Kashi. I know you are trying really hard to be "great tasting healthy" food and I want to give you props for that, I do. But this pizza of yours kinda sucked. Oh, it sounds good I'll give you that much. "Sicilian Veggie made with eggplant, curly kale, fire roasted red peppers,& caramelized onions with a balsamic-infused white bean tomato sauce on a stone-fired crust made with Kashi 7 whole grains & sesame with flax seed." Doesn't it sound spectacular? But sadly the taste wasn't all that special. The crust was a bit harder than other crusts I've had from a frozen pizza before.

Ohmygosh this stuff is good! I got to taste a spoonful of the vanilla bean. It was so silky, so creamy and so vanilla-y. It was perfect.

Extremely well put.

I couldn't have said it better myself so I'm not even going to add anything to it. Just go and read it for yourself. What’s Extreme? Well, How Much Is Ten Billion? Go vegan.

I say Potato – you say Yum!

Potatoes have a long and rich history. They were first discovered in the Andes Mountains of South America some 7,000 years ago. The tubers impressed people with their high nutritional content and ruggedness. The vegetable would take its time, but eventually it made it's way across Europe finally becoming a dietary staple. Did you know that potatoes are very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium? They are! Plus, a potato is a good source of Vitamin B6, Potassium, copper and an excellent source of Vitamin C.
