    I loved sloppy joes as a kid. I’m sure it was terrible junk food, like basically everything else. Are sloppy joes even a thing anymore?

      They were a big thing back in elementary school. Man they were tasty.

      But what’s terrible about them, healthwise? It’s just ground beef in a tomato sauce.

        It’s probably the same as with any kind of food. You can prepare it with good ingredients and it’s fine, but when you buy that mass-produced shit, you now you are eating garbage.

        I just assume most mass-produced products which come in a can are unhealthy until otherwise proven.

      It’s really not all that unhealthy, depending on how you make it. In typical American size portions, it is an excessive amount of red meat for one sitting. We have it on our inpatient menu at the hospital I work at. Though the portions are not typical, the recipe is pretty standard but with less added salt.

        I made it about a month ago, and it was a recipe that added in a bit of lentils to add in some more bulk/fiber/texture. It turned out pretty well. Wouldn’t be something I’d make a lot, but I’d certainly do it again
