Life ConAgra and Owl City Team Up to End Hunger and Promote Type II Diabetes

Posted by Grant Brissey on Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 12:18 PM

So, according to ConAgra, March 6 is National Frozen Food Day. That's right, March 6 is the day you can now spend remember all those frozen dinners that threw themselves into a microwave for you. Sure, they're portion controlled, but you just eat two at a time. Frozen food is big business these days:

This is one of the reasons why frozen food is up 22% or $10 billion annually (Packaged Facts, 2006-2010) and is projected to be a $70 billion category by 2015.

That's hella chicken nuggets people! Anyway, as Owl City says in the offending song (placed after the jump), "Here's your one chance/To make a difference." The only way you can help the hungry now is to buy frozen dinners from your ConAgra Frozen Food Overlords™ and then punch the 8-digit purchase code into their widget. According to the Daily Swarm, Owl City's song "Here's Hope" is the theme song for the whole thing. All of which reminds me, I haven't had my daily intake of refined foods yet. I'm off to QFC for a Marie Calendar® Turkey Pot Pie! See you on the toilet.

Oh, hey. A reason to say "Fuck Owl City" and then never listen to them. As if we needed another.

It always gives me a queasy mixture of sadness and scorn when I see somebody at the grocery store with a cart loaded up with Hungry Mans and thousand-packs of those little cigarette burrito things, especially if that somebody has kids.
