"What to do with deli meats"

Don't eat them regardless.
- Do you have any good alternatives you’d recommend in place of lunchtime sandwiches? I know they’re pretty popular here in the states
  
  I'm a PB & J fan myself, but even if you're going to have meat in your sandwich, maybe boil some chicken or something. Deli meats are about as unhealthy as you can get. Filled with salt and preservatives.
- Yeah. They’re not really good for anyone. Besides the sodium and stuff.
- Some of the tofurky deli slices are good. Avoid the "ham" though.
  
  I have never enjoyed tofurky. In general, I'm not a huge fan of meat substitutes, although I do enjoy a nice veggie breakfast sausage patty.
just don't eat corpses, easy.
No you said

Yes, in fact.
Man I have a nice deli turkey sando in my fridge that I guess I'll throw out :/
