Well, I found that it's high in sodium, but it's low in calories, total
fat, and saturated fat. I guess you can take the sodium, it's okay.

Everybody loses me on meatloaf. Over the years I've tried many meatloaf
recipes, but I find the only ones I like are those that have absolutely no
vegetables added, apart from onion and, occasionally, green pepper. I
guess I just like meatloaf and not veggie loaf. There's no convincing me
otherwise. :-)
