> A box of instant macaroni could be unhealthy because it contains low levels of important vitamins and minerals while containing excess amounts of salt, cholesterol, and saturated fat

What macaroni contains cholesterol and saturated fat? And seems unfair to compare macaroni, a plain ingredient usually combined with others, with a complete meal.

From the "instant", I assume they're referring to mac n "cheese", with whatever is passing for the latter containing both of those.

Oh right I guess that's a dish made with macaroni then, and not just the pasta itself, so that's confusing.

No one on earth eats plain macaroni. You have it mixed with something. lol

Yes it's combined with a sauce or something - meat, tomato, cheese, etc. But then that gives you wildly different nutrition profiles. Just saying 'box of macaroni' doesn't tell you anything.

Colloquially, in the US where San Francisco is based, a box of macaroni would mean craft mac and cheese just like kleenex means tissue.
