My name is braslvr, and I'm a salt-oholic. I've loved and craved the stuff since I was a little kid. Food cooked by my parents rarely required additional salt, and neither does food cooked at our house, but that's because it was added during cooking. At most restaurants I have to use a lot, especially on meat, potatoes, cooked veggies, and eggs. For whatever reason, airline meals usually require very little if any. At 52 my BP is still 125 over 72 or less, same as when I was a teen. Salt is not bad for everyone, and it would be devastating for me to have to adhere to a true low sodium regimen. [shudder]
