Dear Dr. Gourmet, Q: I just read CNN’s latest article highlighting Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr.’s plant-based diet to prevent heart attacks and reverse heart disease. His diet recommendations counter many items in the Mediterranean Diet. See this excerpt from [...] This week we have two from Weight Watchers Smart Ones’ “Classic Favorites.” Overall, Weight Watchers’ frozen meals have a pretty good track record from us in terms of thumbs up versus thumbs down.
