    both are terrible in salt and preservatives 

    a great lunch meat is a  pre cooked turkey breast you cut slices off of look for this in the meat department

    They are often high in fat and additives/chemicals.  Especially the salami and bologna types of lunch meats.  I opt for ham or poultry or beef for my deli meats but I generally avoid eating lunch/deli meats. 

    If I want to take a meat sandwich for lunch, I usually cut a few slices off a roast of beef or chicken and make a sandwich with that.

    Some pre packaged lunch meats, like the Buddig Brand, are the best of the worst. Oscar Meyer, lunch meats, like bologna are the worst of the worst-extremely greasy. 

    I prefer deli meats, and only those cut in front of me. In some parts of the US, they will cut them in front of you, in other parts, they will slice the entire thing and just dump the pile into the deli case-to dry out.

    Deli cuts are more expensive, and better.

    Both are overly processed and overly preserved slices of pressed and formed pieces of meat.  The only difference is one is sliced at the deli in front of you and the other is sliced at a packaging plant.

    pre-packaged lunch meats are better
