Daaang. I bought this Tyson Deli Market microwavable mac and cheese. It appears to be good and healthy for you. But the sodium content is 1440 mg (60% - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 14, 19:46 15

- Offset it by eating sugar. -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Jul 14, 19:59
- your parents will be proud. the med school info you learned is paying off :)) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 14, 19:57
- nothing with the name "Tyson" on it is likely to be remotely healthy -- nm - charlie Jul 14, 19:48 2
  - or good -- nm - charlie Jul 14, 19:48 1
