shootingstar had posted some links to the "too much salt" article.

I think one of the trick manufacturers use to get you to buy their pre-pkg'ed food is to layer with fat, salt, and sugar to make it yummy. Its not the "umai" yumminess but people have been so conditioned to think fat, salt, and sugar is yummy (blach for me).

All pre-pkg'ed food taste like it's been soaked in the dead sea for few days with all that salt. There is no real flavor except for the fat, sweet, and salty taste. Besides, salt, fat and even sugar is cheap compared to real flavoring, so the manufacturer of the pre-pkg'ed food can bigger their money.

If you want to consume less salt, stop eating all that frozen food. and start cooking a home.
