Salt No More

I am so happy to see this article in today's New York Times.

For more than five years, we have been drastically slashing the amount of sodium we eat: we have never salted food while cooking or at the table, we have practically stopped buying processed meals, and we are always trying to support companies that make reduced-salt versions of their products. (Thank you, Progresso soups.)

We're healthier, but it's not enough.

Recently, at a restaurant, we saw a man (who must have weighed more than 300 pounds) spend about a minute shaking salt on a salad. At another restaurant, we saw a woman salting her pizza -- one of the saltiest things you can eat. Where will the madness stop?

High levels of sodium in your body can lead to numerous issues -- not the least being high-blood pressure.
