My husband bought me some of my favorite soup, Campbell's Cream of Potato. My mouth got all ready and I sipped the first spoon. I spit it back in the bowl. It tasted TERRIBLE! I thought it was spoiled. Nope. Now! With Sea Salt Added! If I wanted sea salt I'd go float in the ocean!
I just discovered that they've done the same to Vegetarian Vegetable. No more Campbell's soup for me. And I wrote them to tell them where they can stick their sea salt! I don't buy Healthy Choice soups because they taste awful. So they are now going to force their idea of healthy on consumers? The left is taking over everything and forcing their ideas on us. I'm really angry. They stick their nose in every aspect of our lives.
I guess I'll just have to make my own.
Mmmm Sounds good
I make a mean Mulligatawny.
Checked your profile, hope you don’t mind.
Bass-fishing, hey? Never tried it but it looks like fun.
Have you guys ever fished for trout? Not to take up your time but in January you got to fish any way you can!
He takes forever to make his lentil but it’s worth the wait. I know he puts bacon and some celery in it. But I’ve never seen what else he slips in there. lol
I noticed that the quality of foods in general is way down.
I make just about everything from scratch so I don’t notice the prepared foods so much. I bet it’s something else besides the sea salt that’s making it worse, though. Ever wonder what “natural flavor” is? Hydrolized vegetable protein aka monosodium glutamate, or a form thereof. It’s now added to a gazillion things including Dannon vanilla yogurt which I occasionally used to buy but now can’t stand it.
Might as well give it up humblegunner. It’s all a government conspiracy don’t cha know? Once they hijack a topic it’s a lot cause. LOL If people don’t like the ingredients in processed food they don’t have to buy it.
You and I can keep enjoying our sea salt. BTW, mine has iodine and is still GOOD! My doctor eats it; says it’s better for you, so since I like it better I plan to stick with it.
I agree with you that it’s probably nothing but a recipe change that the company made without any interference from the government.
They have to be cutting their own throats here. Their new soup flavors are horrible! This has to have an adverse effect on their sales. Is this actually from pressure from the government? It is like Coca Cola adding pickle juice to their formula and expecting people to like it.
Five days! Holy crap. That’s a miracle. I’m glad the little fugitive showed up.
Look, thanks for cutting me a break, not holding a grudge. Sometimes it’s the little stuff that reminds us there is something bigger in the background, right? Maybe bigger worries at times-—Obama-ism, for instance-—but also bigger blessings.
Again, Happy New Year to you all....
If your gonna make your own you might as well add a couple cans of clams and have Clam Chowder...
We used to get yogurt called Brown Cow. It was all natural. Nothing added. Can’t find it now. Been eating a lot of cube steaks and chicken from a local farm that has a meat store. Don’t buy it from a grocery.
I’m reading this thread and thinking the same thing. We use sea salt and I’ve never tasted a difference.

Yes, we have fished for trout, but during the summer. :) We eat trout when we catch it, but we usually fish for bass and then release them. They’re fighters, which is fun.
It's the only way to get to know people. Besides being mad takes energy! :-)
Hope the rest of your day is grand!
Evidentally, LOW-salt is one of several conditions that favor the growth of botulism — I’m not a chemist, but a search at google should provide a variety of interesting articles about some of the consequences of ‘LOW-salt’ in pre-prepared foods.
I want to alert you, however, that I totally MIS-remembered what I originally read; turns out that it was the water that the cans were cooked in, and NOT the contents of the can to which salt was added.
SO sorry about that!!
“....Adding calcium chloride (a salt) to the water in which cans were cooked raised the water temperature, speeding up the canning process....”

ahhh, you have the true spirit of combining ingredients of your own to make homemade memories. Your family is very blessed and lucky as they know what has been prepared took time and was done with love. Good for you ... oh and by the way...I think I caught an aroma of that delicous, hot homemade bread with those loving hands. :)
Now let's be real. Somehow, sea salt got marketed as being good for you....well kinda...
So, now, folks have two kinds of salt in their cupboard. It's a fad....I don't buy products that say sea salt and I'll never again buy regular sea salt...and if it doesn't sell, it will disappear.
I'm back to using my iodized salt.
Buying sea salt is as dumb as buying bottled water when all you have to do is turn on the tap(though I keep some for emergency).
FADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before this thread drifts off... could you clarify? Do ‘scoots’ = dragging your butt on the carpet or mudbut?
Been meaning to ask.
Would you like some cheese with your whine?
By the time I get done I sure feel like that! LOL
It’s been an interesting and informative thread. Too bad you’d rather be a stinker.
