Nitrates are unhealthy, even if vendors are intentionally misleading about celery.

The weird thing is, many vegetables are full of nitrates but people only seem to care when they are in meat.

That (probably) has some reality, because the issue is that nitrates and high heat cooking + proteins probably causes generation of Nitrosamine, which are carcinogenic.

Don't eat meat all the time and you will be fine.
