One of my health nut friends say that i'm going to die from eating too much of this stuff. But i've been consuming 4 oz of it perday for the past 8 years. Is it really bad for me??
 
Yes, it is bad (sodium) but only the wealthy could afford to eat enough to affect their health.

edit: oh, you're wealthy?................oops.

That's a lotta salt. The problem with high salt intake is, other than the arterial and heart disease, it really does a number on your bones. Eats 'em right up.

what?! how? why wasn't I informed?
 
make yoru own, its easy, all you need is a cheap 10$ food dehydrrator
tastes better and its better for you
 
Man, tell your friend to fvck off, there are a billion other things that can cause you to die. (such as the smog from driving a car)


Don't you know that there are kids in 3rd world countries starving? JUST EAT IT.
 
The jerky I'm eating right now has 20% of your daily sodium intake per serving. Each serving is 1 oz. You are eating a hell of a lot of sodium.
 
Unless you have hypertension, there's absolutely nothing wrong with salt. Numerous studies have proven this, don't believe the salt nazis. Only thing to watch out for is MSG.

I love beef jerky, it's a great portable source of lean protein. It is expensive though.
 
Doesn't excess salt intake lead to kidney stones too? Or am I thinking of calcium? Anyways, get one of those and you'll wish you were dead!
 
Very lean beef + high sodium. You'll be fine. It is 1000 times better for you than your friend's Big Mac.

no all you need is a electronic food dehydrator,

just marinate the meat in whatever mix of stuff you want and dehydrate it, its simple

i use soy sauce, liquid smoke, salt pepper, a lil oil and some brown suggar, get a rump roast, cut it up into strips and marinate it over night and then dehydrate it till its done
