Is pastrami bad for you?

[moonbogg]

I've been eating it lately and I'm afraid its going straight to my arteries and being deposited as thick, immovable sludge.

It's more a matter of calories. That's what you need to watch. The FDA is probably going to lighten up on fats.

everything is bad for you.

everything.

Bad is a matter of perspective. It's damn sure not health food and it's a lot more fatty than stuff like turkey, but on the whole pastrami is kind of middle of the pack for sandwich meats. It's better than ham, bologna, mortadella and salami. You can't eat it every day, but one pastrami sandwich a week isn't going to kill you.

We're all born with death sentences. Might as well embrace the pastrami.

PS- Obligitory, I've got some pastrami, for your mommie.

 

[Newell Steamer]

If it feels & tastes good,.. it's probably bad for you.

most deli ham is fairly low in fat.

both are pretty high as far as sodium goes. then again, all deli meats are.

It's food. No food is "bad" for you. If you were starving and you ate pastrami, would it kill you or save your life?

Just learn to enjoy stuff in moderation and stop worrying about it.

Edit: oh wait, Moonbogg thread. Time == wasted.

Enjoy every sandwich.

You guys seem to ignore the fact that heart disease is the #1 killer in America and other parts of the world as well. Death from pastrami at age 50 is not an attractive way to die. Maybe you don't care, but I do.
If pastrami is bad for your heart and cardio system, then it should be avoided. That's why I asked. How can asking about that be a waste of time? You guys are all going to die from eating terrible shit with that kind of attitude.

The only way you're going to end up with "Death by Pastrami" on your death certificate or as a news headline about you is if you choke to death on it.
