It's such an old entry, I find it hard to believe that there are that many Swanson fans who are willing to defend their choice of meal. Both comments just seem fishy to me.</p> They were two different IP addresses, so maybe they are just two people who really love Swanson.

If this is an example of astroturfing, it's hilarious: "ha," "haha," "TV diner," "GO SWANSON," run-on sentences. It's like they studied the sort of comments that the average person makes, and then tried to dumb themselves down to sound more realistic. I can't stand the subliterate comments I get on my site, and I edit them to sound intelligent, whether the commenters like it or not.</p> <p>Reading the two comments together, they have that suspicious smell that fake Amazon reviews have: Both the same length, and short. It takes too much work to write anything longer when you're faking it.</p> Did the two comments originate from the same IP address, or the same city?

Reading the two comments together, they have that suspicious smell that fake Amazon reviews have: Both the same length, and short. It takes too much work to write anything longer when you’re faking it.

This was prior to the creation of the deluxe 1 lb. models. After I mentioned the high calories many times one day he finally flipped the box over and checked it out for himself(don't recall what those run but I know it was alot). He has since been eating Healthy Choice lunches which are usually 300-400 calories and he has lost some weight.</p> <p>By the way, I am your husband's cousin. I found your site one day looking for some Moncur info on the web and I work for a Fitness company so I was interested and started reading. I really enjoy it!</p> My husband used to eat the regular hungry men dinners for lunch every day. This was prior to the creation of the deluxe 1 lb. models.
