The box of Swanson's Hungry-Man XXL frozen dinners proudly proclaims that it's crammed with one and a half pounds of "food," but what isn't proclaimed is the nutritional information. As is common with most frozen dinners, the amount of sodium in the Hungry-Man XXL meals is staggering.
Sure, the calories (970), fat (40 grams), and carbohydrates (106 grams) of the Roasted Carved Turkey are not for the weak-hearted (literally), but the 3,600 mg of sodium in the one meal is outlandishly high, especially when the Food and Drug Administration recommends keeping your daily sodium intake below 2,400 mg. for the entire day!
One Thousand Miligrams equals1 Gram. So, we're talking about 3+ GRAMS of sodium in one sitting.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I believe that 3 Grams of Cocaine, inhaled in one huge mega-fat line, would likely do you less harm than 3 Grams of sodium scarfed down in one meal.
Think about it.
