RE: They came for my salt shaker and then my sugar bowl
The problem with getting factories to remove Sodium Chloride from foods is that they will replace that with something else...like Potassium Chloride! Which is just as bad or worse! Don't believe me? Take a look at the Campbells Health Choice soup you are eating...They claim low salt, but they replaced the salt with Potassium! And it tastes NASTY! OMG! It feels like I'm eating gun powder!
I don't mind the sugar part...there are plenty of substitutes that perform a passable sweetening...but salt? That's a different beast!
Perhaps the reason that the 70s had lower sodium chloride is because most foods back then had MSG added to it...this flavor enhancer was the predominant ingredient in all foods! Anybody remember Accent! wow...my mom sprinkled that on everything! Now it's hard to find it in the stores!
