Spam is more nutritious than many foods folks regularly consume;
balogna, tube steak, salami of all kinds, wursts of all kinds... and
lots more, and those are just meats, don't even look at all the baked
snack foods, and crappy dried cereals obeastie kiddies stuff down
their maws, and what about the mega tons of garbage folks consume at
fast food joints (how are greasy salty fries better than spam, and
don't forget the coke, all supersized). Spam with eggs is more
healthful than bacon/sausage and eggs. What's so healthful about the
typical flap jack house breakie, a stack of artificial ingredients
cakes super saturated with butter and half a beaker of heavy syrup.
