SALT-O-RAMA

Let's face it, salting food like there is no tomorrow is a practice that has become mindless and unhealthy.  Finally there is a growing salt reality check going on in our midst, a realization that we consume way too much sodium.

The popular assumption in the populace is that 'no salt' spell 'no taste' which of course is false. A lack of imagination and know-how makes for bland tasteless food not the lack of salt and for the most part salt overload merely masks the food which is fine if it is bad birdy num-num. Remember, fresh food needs no masking.  

Think of all the wonderful spices and herbs in the world that can be used to jazz-up any and all cuisine, maybe even give it that haunting taste-note and render it memorable

Imagine, Health Canada has new guidlines to cut average daily sodium intake from 3,400 mg down to 2,300 mg by 2016. (why the long wait?) Stay tune for more 'salt' issues in my weekly commentary.
