Alexia says: White Meat chicken and cheese with tomato sauce in a tender fried crust.

Abi says: Alexia makes junk food for people that shop at Whole Foods. Want some tater tots or oven fries or pizza rolls? Look no further than Alexia foods. This isn’t to say that the things they make aren’t good (you just try to figure out those negatives!), but this is to say that these items are priced considerably higher than their counterparts at regular grocery stores. I guess that’s the price I have to pay for sustainable chicken farming.

Alexia Pesto Chicken Pizza snacks may be hoity-toity pizza rolls, but they are still deep fried then frozen. I prefer to bake mine to get a crispy exterior, but an in-office experiment showed that they are also quite edible in microwaved form. These pizza snacks are not particularly pesto-ey and the chicken is only in the tiniest of shreds, and basically that photo on the front of the box is a lie because 2/3 of the filling of each ’snack’ is air, but if you are looking for a delicious way to burn your mouth, these will do.

“I guess that’s the price I have to pay for sustainable chicken farming.”

Because god knows, if we don’t take drastic steps now, America may soon run out of chickens. Pelosi must push through a farm bill that includes an amendment to spend $1 billion dollars over the course of 10 years for agricultural research, to ensure we will always have enough chickens for Sunday dinner. A chicken in every pot! A tasteless, stringy, dry yet water logged fowl is what America deserves. Just one. So please, no seconds.
