Saturated fat numbers don't look great. Also, TONS of salt which isn't great either. sigh oh well, maybe some day.

I'm curious, what would you consider an appropriate food? I personally look for high fat/protein when picking my food, and the there isn't much reason to believe salt is bad for you.

  My diet is specifically about reducing inflammation. Low sugar, low salt, mostly plant based. There is much reason to believe salt is bad for you.

    That's cool, I mean definitely do what is best for you. I think there is a lot of room for self-discovery of our own optimal diets. The salt debate is one of those things where nutrition science can't seem to settle on it, depending on the survey.

      High salt consumption is linked to high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. You're right in that there's some debate around salt, and what amount is the "right" amount. However, for people with auto immune diseases (like me) it's a valid concern. https://www.cdc.gov/features/sodium/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/features/sodium/index.html

        If you have a specific disease its one thing but please do not advocate and claim what is healthy or not for most people based on that. Many vegi burgers that people would eat as replacements are far more unhealthy.

    How do you know if you have "inflammation" or not?

      Blood tests. However, what spurred me have blood tests in the first place were symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (in my case: painful swelling of the joints).

That saturated fat and salt are bad has been falling out of favor scientifically for a long time. They specifically built the burger to be like a normal burger because many people actually consider it a healthy thing to eat.

  I should have chosen my words more carefully. It's about the big picture. You can keep it easy by choosing a diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, nuts, and unsaturated fats. Apologize for the late edit (home now) but you might want to scrutinize closer your sources on saturated fat: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-set-up-to-fail/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-s...
