I thought sodium was really bad for you though

  Salt is only bad for you if you don't drink water.

  Zero sodium also kills you because you need electrolytes to live. Like almost literally every complex system, there is a zone of moderation/goodness/health.

    It actually nearly killed my wife’s grandmother. Until some doctor realized she avoided salt like the plague, gave her some and she made a miraculous discovery.

  The beef patty numbers are solely raw beef, they do not include the seasoning required to make it taste like a hamburger. The McDonald’s quarter pounder patty (just the cooked patty, no bun and no toppings), which I believe is comparable, comes with 210mg of salt. Since the DRV is 2000mg, the differences aren’t as significant as they appear.

    >they do not include the seasoning required to make it taste like a hamburger. True for many midwestern homes. This also doesn't include what you need to do to cook a beyond/impossible burger. At least when I've made one, they absorb oil like a sponge. A burger will actually render out fat and doesn't need any oil in the pan. And no I'm not converting to teflon in this lifetime. You will find you want to season them heavily as well as the taste is pretty plain and heavy on the cooking oil used.
