My family always has a stockpile of lunch meat in the house (turkey, roast beef, ham etc.) all of them the leanest and most expensive possible... however i heard today they are full of Nitrates and are extremely bad for you... i was wondering if there was any truth to this?

[Ironslave]

Are they pre-packaged? If so they probably do...but some deli's etc. actually slice the meat for you, try to do that if possible.

I dont know about nitrates, but theyre loaded with sodium.

they're not the best if you got blood pressure issues.

Yeah they are not prepackaged they are cut in the deli their Deitz & Watson which is apparently pretty good, and they are about 7.99 a lb

id say as long as it wasnt you rmain staple of nutrition..and just a quick lunch here and there itd be ok..personally id spend the 6.99 on 3 lbs of chicken breast and smash me some chicken...

Lol, I was wondering the same thing. I think Im going to invest in a chicken farm. It seems like the easiest way to eat a ton of protien.
