Let’s not kid ourselves: Spam is high in sodium—about 790 mg per serving. That’s a third of your daily salt intake in two slices. It’s also a decent source of protein (7 grams) and zero carbs. For a survivalist, it’s a miracle. For your blood pressure, it’s a villain origin story.
But here’s the shocker: Spam has less fat than some premium sausages and bacon. It’s not health food, but it’s not toxic waste either. Think of it as the gummy bear of meats—fun, weird, and best enjoyed in moderation with a tall glass of water.
