“This is a salt mine—by eating one small serving of this, you will have consumed a day’s worth of sodium. These products are extremely high in artery-clogging saturated fat! And really…. broccoli? I think there might be broccoli dust somewhere in there—but nowhere near enough to deem this at all healthy,” explains Whiteson.
