| Description: | Conquering the world, one microwave at a time... |

As consumers in a fast pace world we expect quickness, quality and quantity. We take at least one if not all of these values into consideration when shopping for furniture, clothing, appliances… food? The microwave was an invention that would change the way people prepared food forever. In 1967, Mom appreciated convenience and the microwave was ready to give it to her. Today, most Americans own a microwave oven; many don’t know what they’d do without it. I am one of those people. I have created this group for convenience food connoisseurs. I am encouraging everyone who loves microwave-ready foods to join in and let us know what your favorites are.
We are excited each time we discover a new member has joined Micro_Eats and have decided to include a template for introductions. Here is a basic form but feel free to get creative!

Community Rules: We encourage all of you to participate as your see appropriate but please try to follow these guidelines. We reserve the right to delete entries which violate these rules. If these rules are violated more than once, we will consider deleting members.
-Before asking general questions (example "Have you tried _______?"), please check this periodically updated post for meals that have been previously reviewed. http://community.livejournal.com/micro_eats/21696.html
We'd like posts to be limited to reviews; however, if you'd like to suggest something that hasn't been reviewed, feel free. Limit these posts at your own discretion.
-Please do not use pictures from other review sites. Stock photos, promotional photos, or your own photos are more than welcome, but stolen personal photographs found online should not be used.
-It's important that all reviews reflect the product completely. Because several frozen food/ convenience food companies are now openly watching our reviews and using them for product feedback, it is important that we give them an accurate description of all elements of their products, such as ease of preparation, aroma, taste and texture of each ingredient, sustainability, aftertaste, etc.
We appreciate thoughtful and complete reviews with accurate spelling. If reviews are consistently poorly written, they will be deleted.
-Limit profanity. We don't care how terrible a meal is, this group should always be treated as one that may be watched by children or teens (and we know it's watched by the companies we review), so set a good example.
-Be polite to others and respect their opinions. If you disagree with a review, find a way to express your opinion that doesn't result in making other reviewers uncomfortable.
