unhealthy meat?

FDA = Food and Drug Administration; (U.S.) Department of Agriculture = USDA

Oops !
Thanks for the correction.
I don't know why I put that down.
Everything after that bit though is correct.

I avoid eating large quantities of processed meats because they're full of chemicals, e.g. sodium nitrite, that many nutrition experts consider dangerous. I'd suggest buying fresh meats in bulk, cooking up large batches and freezing individual portions. Then you just pop 'em in the microwave for a couple of minutes and are ready to go. Tastes better, too!

There does seem to be some division of responsibilities between the two in this area which I couldn't easily work out when I checked earlier (so I didn't try to guess which one you actually meant )

Some packaged meats even have some sugar.

the deli meat I eat are from pillers. They dont use sodium nitrite.
Im Korean so all the traditional foods are high sodium. If I was living in Korea, even TRYING to limit sodium would be a joke.

Try a cup of cottage cheese and piece of fruit as a before bed snack.

The FDA [Federal Department of Agriculture] in America has set a recommended sodium intake of 2300 mg per day. A lawsuit against the FDA by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest [CSPI] is currently in progress to force the FDA to list sodium as a 'food additive' so that it's use in all foods can be regulated. The reason for this is that the average sodium intake for an adult American is 4000 to 6000 mg per day.

Some people are more susceptible to the effects of sodium than others, and sodium sensitivity appears to increase with age but there is no test, currently, to determine this and that is why a diet low in sodium is advised.

This would be of great help for the american diet
