NEWS/ VIEWS AND COMMENTARIES April 30, 2011

I realized the other day that our culture actually must OD on sodium.  An average slice of bread is loaded with 200 mg of salt...hello! Remember the official amount of sodium recommended in the U.S. is 1500 per day. 
So two slices makes 400 mg...imagine young people who eat this stuff.
Fortunately we are gradually becoming aware of how much sodium we consume...the worse is in prepared and processed foods...restaurants too. 
It is important that we demand less sodium in our foods...forget the lame assumption that gobs of salt are in use to preserve food...or that no salt equals bland or tasteless meals...it is time to change, get rid of such false and mindless assumptions.

Aphorism for the week:
Refuse to let your feelings be hurt...get over it.

Change is in the air, Spring is slowly coming to life that sure feels good.
Have you ever notice how one thing leads to another...when I first had to watch my sodium intake that got me
into creating recipes that were salt free.  The more I eperimented with
low to no sodium meat or vegetable dishes, breads, pickles and chutneys
the more I turned into a foodie...love cooking, love inventing new recipes and now sharing what
I am learning. 

Happy Easter.

APHORISM OF THE WEEK:
Enthusiasm is like gas to a car.

NEWS VIEWS AND COMMENTARIES...April 1, 2011

A new month already, Spring is here and changes are manifesting at a rapid and
I mean FAST pace.  It looks to me like 'ours' is to ride the wave, adapt, change
and work with 'what is' because that is what is. 

Sodium: Many so-called 'healthier' foods are laced with ridiculous amounts of
sodium...I look forward to low sodium commercial bread...bread manufacturers
have not caught on to holding back on sodium.  Some bread companies feature
umpteen grains, advertise that the bread is great for kids and they go ahead and
add even more sodium to the bread....hello! What is that all about.

It is up to the average person to demand low sodium products....ask and we will
receive...you may have to demand it. 

Aphorism of the week:

Self-sacrifice has nothing to do with B.B.Q pits.
