Saltiness is ruining your life.

Whoa there, grumpy!!!

While you’re well within your rights to take those two middle fingers out of their holster for thinking I’m going to talk some dumb shit about how you should be nicer to people to expand your social circle to increase networking opportunities for greater outcomes in your professional career, I’m most certainly not going to talk some dumb shit like that!

No, I’m talking about how your life is being ruined by all the weight you’re gaining from the packaged and processed food you live on that’s loaded with sodium!1Sodium is most commonly found in table salt as sodium chloride (NaCl) but other sources include monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium nitrite, sodium saccharin, and baking soda. In total, the average American eats 3500 mg of sodium per day, with 75 percent of it coming from processed foods and restaurant meals. Compare that intake to the recommended daily intake of less than 2300 mg.

As is most commonly known about sodium, it makes you retain water, which leads to temporary water weight. But sodium being one of the causes for fluctuations on the scale isn’t the only effect it has on weight.

Today is the day of the Super Bowl, the title game for the sport of American football, which is logically played with very little use of the feet.1This is in stark contrast to the sport of football that’s enjoyed by the rest of the savages around the world, as those filthy savages play it with the exclusive use of their feet because they aren’t civilized enough yet to use their hands.

The contest sees teams from the National Football League vie for the world championship.2Even though there’s absolutely no global element to the game because all the teams in the league are North American-based, it makes perfect sense that the title game is the “world championship” because fuck logic, as you’ll definitely figure out by the time you’re done reading this.

The game, halftime show, and premier of new commercials all make up a four-hour extravaganza that’s the most-watched event in the world.3Well, it’s the most-watched television broadcast only in North America, where the only people who give a fuck about American football are. But shit, it might as well be the world since North America is the only part of the planet that matters because that’s where the good ole U.S. of A is!

Behind Thanksgiving (or Illegal Immigration Day, which for some odd reason hasn’t caught on yet), Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest food holiday of the year. So odds are high that you’re going to need a super bowl.4Yes, that’s a “super bowl” as in a huge toilet!!! *sigh* Please, do your best to keep up here!

Let’s take a look by the numbers! Continue reading Super Bowl Food Facts
