Comparing 2 cans of food

I know lots of people love Spam and that is the first thing they think about when they have a very limited food budget or if they want to store some ready to eat meat...or take it on a camping trip. It tastes kind of good to me, yes, (because i have a liking for salty fatty things) but I know and you know it is terrible for your health with all of its nitrates, salt and fat. Isn't it interesting that the BEST canned meat (I am calling salmon "meat" here because it is the "meat" of the salmon fish!) is this wild Alaskan canned salmon!!!! Look at the prices of the 2...the salmon (with all its yummy Omega 3 oils) is .2 cents more per .oz...I would consider them the same price. OK..what do you choose? This picture was taken at Winco  2nd week of May 2013.

From the back labelof the salmon can:

 This can has    7     2.2 oz. serving
80 calories a serving
12 g of protein a serving
3 g of fat per serving (and we know it is mostly the healthy omega 3s)
0 Carbs
270 mg sodium

What a deal! Date on the bottom? Best by July 2017. But you can eat it past that date also ...if the can is not bulging and if the contents smell fine.
