From the original link:
I'll have to go through an MRE and see how much everything in it adds up to be. I know it'll be over 1,200 calories, but I'm curious about the fat and sodium content.

As I can eat "low fat 100" only, means 3,3g fat per 100 cal only, I think (pretty sure) MRE´s are having less fat (excapt the cheese

)

But there's a difference between Swanson meals and meals that have been prepared specially for you in a restaurant.
Bacon, pancakes and fries aren't unhealthy by definition, it's the way their treated/prepared that counts a lot. But with pretty much all food; too much is bad.

I know the figure on the label is based on a recommended maximum, but I still have a vision of someone saying 'Gee, am I getting
enough cholesterol?'

You gotta keep an eye on that fine print; that is 231% of your daily allowance of cholesterol based on a 2,000 calorie diet. My guess is that most people who start out the day with a 1,030 calorie breakfast, are not restricting themselves to 2,000 calories.
BTW - That number refers to the amount of cholesterol, expected to be in a healthy 2,000 calorie regimen, so if you are consuming the American average of 3,790 calories, you have only consumed 121% of your daily cholesterol. I recommend the Hungry-Man Backyard Barbecue XXL for lunch.
