Processed meat is a known carcinogen but being on the ketogenic diet when you don't have intractable drug resistant epilepsy means you fell for a retarded meme.

>The prevalence of renal caculi in people on the ketogenic diet is 3-10%, compared with 1 in several thousand in the general population.12 Chronic acidosis, dehydration, low urine pH, and fat malabsorption all contribute to the formation of uric acid and calcium oxalate stones.9,10
That's an increase in annual kidney stone risk by a factor of 2700.

I imposed this on myself as a kid because homecooked food creeped me out. If it wasn't from a name brand restaurant chain or sealed supermarket product I didn't trust it.

Saying salt is either "bad" or "good" is retarded.
Like most everything else it depends on how much of it and who's consuming it.
If it's someone in their 40s or older with high blood pressure then they'd probably be better off not having a lot of salt in their diet.

You're not supposed to use 20 oz of ketchup in one go, anon.
Also the idea ketchup is exceptionally sugary is kind of bullshit. Both the ingredient proportions and the flavor profile are way more dominated by vinegar.
If you removed the sugar ketchup would still taste mostly like ketchup. Remove the vinegar though and it won't taste anything like ketchup.

It's not the worst thing you can do to food, but adding beans to chili is generally a warning sign you're making subpar chili and leaving your flavor too weak. A proper chili is aggressively flavorful and wouldn't allow you to taste something as weak as bean flavor. Beans are also used to skimp on meat and that's pretty lame to do. And overall they go against the spirit of the chili making endeavor in how they don't take the same amount of time to cook as the rest of the chili so in most cases you're making some separate round of bean cooking without even cooking what is supposedly one of your main ingredients in the chili dish you're shoehorning them into.
I honestly have no idea why anyone would feel compelled to hurt what could have been perfectly fine chili with out of place space wasting beans. Even when I hear from the people allegedly in favor of this practice they don't provide very compelling rationales e.g. it provides fiber. Seriously? Fiber? I have a hard time believing people would sabotage a working dish like that on the basis of fulfilling some speculative daily recommended fiber consumption rate.

All calorie counts for nutrition facts use rounding, anon.
If you see two different numbers that means one is rounding a different way than the other e.g. one might be a multiple of a smaller / less rounded amount while the other might round it as a single large number.
