I was looking at my heart a few weeks ago and didn't see any clogged arteries. Avoiding Spam may be partially to blame.
That’s kind of the point. SPAM isn’t particularly fattening, but it’s high enough in fat, salt and cholesterol to be an issue for arteries.

I'm finding this thread weirdly fascinating.
I have never had actual spam. As a kid of the late 60's, I can recall seeing the distinct cans on supermarket shelves, but haven't seen it in decades. So I decided to check availability here. Sure enough, one cannot buy it. (Dublin, Ireland). The Spam homepage helpfully suggested Dublin, Ohio, but thousands of miles and several flights seems a bit extreme for to get a can.
The thread here reminds me of Marmite discussions. It is the same love/loathe situation.
Carry on. I shall re-lurk.

You can order Spam from Amazon. Try it. Dog food if nothing else.
