I go to trader joe's and all their are organic and free of artificial preservatives. The thing is they don't sell name brands in order to cut the middle man. And their food is unique and delicious!

Though I'm not worried about chicken and chicken parts-compared to what is in other things we eat, that's the least of my worries. Same with lettuce, I'm not about to worry about pesticide levels in my lettuce..maybe if I made 20% higher income i could.. Sodium is actually pretty low, here is nutrition label: Fat: 2g 3% Sat. Fat 1g 5% Tans Fat 0g Cholest 40mg 13% Soduium 180mg 8% Carb 0 Fiber 0 Sugar 0 Protein 12g Ingredients: White Chicken, Water, Sea Salt. Gluten Free. 100% Natural. I always use whole wheat bread when making chicken salad. And miracle whip is much better for you than mayo. I'd still say its a pretty healthy lunch. Also that's what, less than $2.00 for a good sized lunch? Mucho money saver. Wow I had no idea about the chicken.

Lettuce, unless organic, has a very high pesticide level. I would also skip the Miracle Whip, sticking with oil/vinegar, and go with 100% whole wheat bread. :) A few things, since you asked:

You can buy a pack of SIX canned white chicken for $7.00. You can buy 6 heads of Romaine lettuce for $6.00. For lunch: 1 Head of romaine lettuce, 1 can of white chicken, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper... And you have yourself a HEALTHY, CHEAP lunch! I eat this almost every day, its delicious and inexpensive! Then again, I am not a picky eater:) You can also buy some Miracle Whip, relish, Dill, and some bread, and suddenly you have some good cheap Chicken Salad!

I personally don't find all the extra precautions, mess & work to be easier especially with all the time it takes to get the grill/oven hot enough, etc. Our vegetarian meals I can have on the table in 10 minutes.
