Yes dont eat deli meat.. They process that meat.. Preservatives, chemicals, sodium.. Etc.. If u want thin sliced meat for sandwiches buy a turkey and make ur own

Do some research on how they actually make deli meat and you will see. GROSS

I worked in a deli when I was a kid. I thought the free food would make the job worth taking. After 3 weeks I couldn't eat deli meat anymore. After seeing how long it sits in the fridge bays and smelling it all day I was never the same.
