I’m not a horse, Tofurky.

I don’t need that much salt.  Neither do you, really.  The US RDA for sodium is about 2,000 mg., on the average.  Health experts say it should be half that.  And most consumers of the fiendishly evil and nasty Western diet, consume twice the RDA.  Here’s where Tofurky comes in.  Most of the sodium consumed in the Western diet comes from processed foods- and vegan foods are not immune to this phenomenon.

If you’re not reading the nutrition labels and ingredient lists on food, still, then, well, that’s just stupid.

One Tofurky Kielbasa log is 660 mg.  So, if you eat it, you’re half-way to the healthy limit of sodium intake.  The internets be chock full of infos regarding what too much sodium does to a body, so I’m not going into here.  But for the sake of my health insurance premiums, can you please cut down on your salt?

Regardless of the very real dangers of salt in processed, ready-to-eat foods, these Tofurky kielbasas, and the other varieties as well, taste too damn salty.  They have good flavor, but my mouth is shriveled from dehydration after chewing this stuff.  Who are the taste testers at Tofurky?  Horses?

I did find these cool S&P shakers while writing this review, so not a total waste.

Tofurky Sausages gets only 2 Goatz because due to the extreme salt, I can only eat half of one at any one time, and it has to be chopped into small pieces and distributed amongst large amounts of other salt-free food stuffs, thereby giving me only half the protein in the thing.
