I hear it had a profound effect on Andy Warhol too.
Campbell went liberal-left a long time ago, supporting dems. I don’t buy their soups, or anything else they are connected with, so I’m glad they have shot themselves in the foot with their “green”ness.
Life’s a bitch at times, but it goes on.
...gave up on can soup long ago. Find a local deli that makes homemade soups....a place near me makes pioneer bacon potato that is habit forming.
What’s wrong with sea salt? It’s still salt.
I’ve got regular salt, Kosher salt & grainy sea salt.
I always thought of sea salt as one of the “good” salts.
“Sea Salt” is the new “next big thing” from the artsy-fartsy, liberal nanny staters.
Michelle Obama, and her crusade, what else can you expect. My wife cannot eat anything with potassium based preservatives, and because of US companies bending over for Michelle, all the rage is ‘low soduim’ which simply replaces it for potassium.
Doesn’t all salt originally come from a sea?
But the good news is:
Probably not.
I like sea salt.
Buy a crock pot and make your own soup.
We have a tyrannical pResident, Obamacare, higher taxes to pay in 2011 and you start off the year with a vanity about your “soup troubles”.
I admire your ability to prioritize for 2011.
Just wait till they go all halal. Goat au naturel...
Once upon a time salt was used as currency...If the Dems and Radical Left get their way with their Food Nazi Bans and further devaluing our currency it may just come back to that.....So far our gov’t not much worth it’s salt.....
I appreciate a good rant. This was OK, more of a rantlet.
I feel your pain. I had a can of Chicken with Stars and it was dreck.
Vegetarian Vegetable? I had to dump Old Bay Seasoning and Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning in it to make it palatable.
Don’t get me started on Nabisco. They discontinued the following delicacies: Crown Pilot Crackers, Royal Lunch Milk Crackers, Ideal Peanut Bars, Mystic Mint Sandwich Cookies, and (as I remember) Heydays. Tragic.
I had this discussion with my Cardio Doc., he pointed me to mayoclinic.com for facts.
Cut to the chase. there isn’t any health benefit from Sea vs mined salt. It’s marketing and cost. Wendy’s went to Sea Salt and have rec’d a gazillion complaints, so far.

Question
Sea salt vs. table salt: Which is healthier?
Is sea salt better for your health than table salt?
Answer
from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value — both mostly consist of two minerals — sodium and chloride. However, sea salt is often marketed as a more natural and healthy alternative. The real differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing, not their chemical makeup.
Sea salt is produced through evaporation of seawater, usually with little processing, which leaves behind some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source. These insignificant amounts of minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels.
Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate trace minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that appears naturally in minute amounts in sea salt.
By weight, sea salt and table salt contain about the same amount of sodium chloride. Your body needs only a couple hundred milligrams (mg) a day to stay healthy, but most people get far too much — mostly from sodium in processed foods. So regardless of which type of salt you prefer, keep sodium consumption between 1,500 and 2,300 mg of sodium a day if you’re a healthy adult. People with high blood pressure, African-Americans and anyone middle-aged or older should aim for the low end of that range.
Read the history of Campbell's....It's pretty interesting. Talked to a couple of "old time" farmers recently (They're in their 80's). They had huge "egg farms". They sold their old hens to Campbell's for 10 cents each.
Our local county commission is on the salt bandwagon too. Took a chunk of grant money to study salt use. They are targeting the folks who use meals on wheels. Going to lower the salt content. What those stupid jerks don’t get is that people still have salt shakers and they know how to use them!
