Salt

I was reading some interesting articles in the Globe and Mail online - Hard to Shake. There is this really cool Salt Calculator or rather Salt-O-Meter. It really is amazing how much salt there is in processed food. I was allowing my sons to use soya sauce. I think I need to monitor this more than I was already. I do love my potato chips though.

I also had a look on the BBC website. When I was there last summer, my cousin mentioned that there was a government push to reduce the amount of salt at restaurants and prepared food. Our government should be doing the same thing, it certainly would reduce health costs
