I just checked my bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce - 1 Tbsp. has 290 mg of sodium. I had no idea. I use it frequently. I have never ever in my *life* heard of *any* food place not having salt!!!! But then I do carry little salt packets in my purse <g>. And I've been known to eat bullion cubes as a snack....

I went to pick up a clubhouse/fries from a local restaurant and I asked for ketchup and salt and they said "we don't have any salt, it's bad for you". Guess what people, I'm sick and damned tired of self-righteous people -- especially those who just sold me a bleached white flour-bread sandwich with processed chicken, cheese, bacon, mayo and butter on it coupled with deep fried potatoes -- who are looking out for my health. Just give me the salt already, I want to enjoy my last meal. paul ########## Paul Stone pas@xxxxxxxx Kingsville, ON, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
