I mean, it really depends on the details. I didn't exactly claim these were balanced meals, and honestly I don't think cheese has a significant negative impact on people. But we're comparing it to what the person probably used to eat, to heavy-carb foods (especially "salads" such as potato salad), and to foods that lack nutrition. These salads have a lot of nutrition and not a lot of carbs. Salt and the worse fats are probably the biggest problem here.

People need salt. If you don’t eat salt, your body can’t retain water or conduct nerve signals. If you’re chronically dehydrated and unable to conduct nerve signals, your life sucks.

Yeah, but I'm just saying people need to watch their salt.

Everybody knows that already though. Almost nobody seems to know that it’s dangerous to take in insufficient salt.
