It probably does depend on where one is.  We have a substantial Jewish
population here, so there may well be a Kosher version of the MOW
available, but I don't know that for sure.  It looks like low fat,
probably is low salt.  Doubt that it's whole grain, though, haven't seen
anything that would indicate that that happens at all...

The ones around here come in the microwaveable containers, black trays
with a clear lid.  I don't think they are oven-safe, but definitely are
safe for the microwave.  My neighbor is still somewhat intimidated by
the nuker, but the aides don't have any trouble with it... :)

You never know, get her hooked on the "exotic" and she might just talk
hubby into going there for themselves...  :)
