Just what I’ve been telling my family and friends for some time.
Obviously too much salt is bad for you, but so is too little.
What I particularly miss is decently salted french fries, which I only eat occasionally anyway, and potato chips. They’ve been after the guys that cook or manufacture these things until they’ve rendered them virtually tasteless.
Great work, Nanny State!
What is often missed is the fact that salt on fries and chips usually gives you less salt than when the salt is added into processed foods. You taste the exposed salt more easily, so you actually use less.
I had some of the natural cut fries at Wendy’s, perfectly seasoned w/sea salt, yesterday w/my Asiago Ranch Spicy Chicken sandwich. Yum! I am a salt addict—my blood pressure usually falls in the 90/50 range, I weigh about 110, and I’m very rarely sick (maybe one or two times a year w/ a cold or stomach bug). I buy the sea salt in the extra large containers, lol.
