I've got a chip on my shoulder about the Sunshine Season Food Fair, ever since 1997 when I was an Atkins dieter and tried to find some reasonable options there. I remember trying to get some veggies in (contrary to popular belief, you DO need to eat veggies on Atkins) and there weren't any green vegetables available other than salad in the form of wilted iceberg lettuce. (And forget about the salad dressings -- there wasn't one that wasn't chock-full of corn syrup!)
It looks like the choices are much better now, regardless of whether you have dietary restrictions and regardless of what those restrictions may be if you have any. I wonder how good the Vegetable Lasagna is (i.e., how "greasy" it is -- blech!), and what the salads are like (vis a vis freshness and whether they're all still iceburg or not). I also wonder how the veggie wraps are; whether they're premade or made fresh; whether they're slathered with mayo to make them palatable, or they're available and decently yummy presented dry.
Any answers to Michael's original general question, or my more specific questions, would be greatly appreciated!
