Never tried it. I know people have fed beefheart with no problems. I think that the fat content of most human foods are rather high for a staple diet in most cichlids though. As a snack, err, maybe.

lunch meat is not even good for us... tons of preservatives and additives and not the best quality of meat{i know we all eat them from time to time} but it is on the low end of healthy.. so i definitly would not ever feed my fish lunch meat.
Careful, questions like that and you'll end up quoted in someone's signature. Prepared foods like lunch meat would not be healthy for your fish. If you are to feed meats best to stick to uncooked beefheart, raw shrimp or fish fillets. You can also nutritionally enhance the meat/fish/shrimp to' check out this link; http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70986&highlight=shrimp
sorry, lunchmeat is an awful idea, and even beef heart comes with its problems. stick to more natural foods
Tried in once with a Oscar omg bad idea it makes the water so oily but when it comes out of the fish it just breaks apart into little pieces and it's just not good trust me.

It does not make you an unhealthy person as long as you do not have a cholestrol problem, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure. If your young and you have good genes, and you eat other nutritional foods..like lots of fruits and veggies.. it may be okay for you.. but lunch meat is loaded with salt,and bad fat..
