no matter how you slice it, what you cook it in, how you flavor it and what you wrap it in, spam is still basically spam: and although it maybe be tasty it's still garbage food. it's high fat, high salt , well let's take a look:
# Ingredients:

* Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added.
* Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness)
* Water (to help in mixing)
* Sugar (for flavour)
* Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative)
