Why on earth...

I bought a box of thepre-made omlettes. They are frozen...egg, sausage and
cheese. Thought, ""hey, a quick breakfast when I don' have time to make
one."

What the hell - 5 carbs? Should be 1 or 2 at most! Ingredients - CORN SYRUP
SOLIDS! AHHHH! Why on earth would you add corn syrup solids to an omlette?

Were they the Jimmy Dean Brand? Just curious.

Just guessing, but:

A) As a preservative, coloring agent, or thickening agent.

B) To make it a little bit "tastier" to the average consumer, who
expects everything to be a notch sweeter than normal.

C) There's so much corn syrup in food processing plants that some
naturally gets picked up by everything, whether it's in the recipe or
not.

Taste and "mouth feel". Often such things are blind tested to see what
people prefer,ie. with or without such things as you mention. It is
also less expensive then egg.

Personally, I don't understand why one would buy pre-made omelettes.
Omelettes are the easiest thing in the world to make. Here are
directions.

Take 4 eggs, add a tablespoon of water, and scramble.

In a medium hot pan, melt a pat of butter and add a teaspoon or so of
good olive oil.

Pour in eggs. As the bottom of the egg solidifies, pull the side of
the eggs in to allow the liquid eggs to flow over to the hot pan. Keep
doing that until it is about 95% cooked. During the cooking add
whatever toppings you want early enough for them to heat thru.

When done slide it the omelette half out of the pan onto a plate and
flip the top over onto the bottom. Let sit for a couple of minutes to
finish cooking thru.

Last week I was walking through the supermarket and had to do a double
take and stop to see if I saw what I actually saw in a cooler. It was
a box with nice graphics containing crumbled precooked ground beef. I
could NOT believe it. Who the hell does not have the time and the
wherewithal to brown up some fresh ground beef? And I did not check,
but I would bet dollars to donuts that it contained more than just
100% ground beef.

I care because eating processed manufactured crap-added foods is what
got us to where most of us are sick from obesity, diabetes T2, heart
disease or other chronic diseases.

Eating correctly is not eating low-carb manufactured nutrient-
deficient preservative-laden pre-cooked crap, it is about eating real
food, which happens to be naturally low carb and full of real
nutrients.

Only real foods provide real nutrients and real health and real weight-
loss.

I have bought a couple of packages of the frozen omelets for my husband.
He cooks hinmself a proper omelet every morning, usually with veggies in
it. However, when we are in the RV, and have to leave the campsite early
for some reason, it is quicker for him to have one of these things. He
tops it with a little salsa. This is definitely NOT a regular occurrence
(only had to do it three times), but better for him than just skipping
breakfast entirely. He is a type 2, on insulin.
