You will see many low salt or no salt canned broths and the most popular veggie green beans as options in stores. People are learning that sodium creates high blood pressure . HBP kills silently and causes great damage if left unchecked for years.
Home made broths or soups , all foods easy on the salt and fresh or frozen veggies are a better bet , but if your in a hurry get the lower salt options and you won't miss the salt. Everything I buy I check for sodium level and if one brand is less thats who gets the sale even though my BP is very good in the 120's to low 130's
The big question is why do these food places push the salt your way , get some sense in their heads and cut back. They can always offer different Salt Licks for the Salt Freaks. No govt regs need apply but any chain must have info on sodium if they have more then a certain number of restaurants and Ill say 3 up.
