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.
