It is about the salt only, or is there something else? I'm curious because ramen sounds like something that should be healthy.

Instant ramen is potentially rather different from freshly prepared ramen though, eg in terms of salt content, additives etc.

The layer of oil floating over the stock, the corn, the pork and the butter topping doesn't help neither.

If you want healthy noodles, you can try Soba instead.

It may just be people who eat ramen all the time are more typically stressed out, don't care about health, etc.
