true to a degree. Some things are naturaly salty. I make a mean pasta carbonera that has a good amount of pancetta and parmesian cheese. Both those things give a good amount of salt, even high quality branda of either.

You add salt content into your dishes because you choose good-quality ingredients that happen to have a lot of salt. Olive Garden dumps in the fat and salt into their food to make their low-quality ingredients taste better.

I almost never eat out. I can feed myself for two days for what a basic restaurant meal costs. And that way I know what is in what I eat.
