jc mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and beef

yesterday i had the jc meat and potatoes. it sucked. the first week of the program, i did the "personalized" plan so that i could exclude beef and pork. at the end of the week, i met with the counselor, and we discussed using the jc planned meal for two weeks, and then switching to personalized, which is what they suggest you do. she didnt try to force me or anything, she was super nice, "are you sure? will you be able to eat it?" worried about the pork thing. maybe she thinks im muslim or something. actually, i brought up the switching of menus. i wanted to try the program as it's designed. two weeks of meat wont offend me. in all honesty, i like beef and pork, but i want to eat less of animal, it's a moral issue for me. im not vegetarian, i just try. every time i don't go to carl's junior saves a cow. and i used to go to carl's junior a LOT... anyway, this jc dish is 200 calories, the potatoes and peas are good. the gravy was just a little gelatinous and the beef didn't taste like "YUM! Steak!" more like, "uhm, is this beef?" you know reconstituted wood, like chip board? it had that feeling when you chew it and it breaks up in your mouth, like it's reconstituted. 3 out of 10, i dont think i'd bother buying this again.
