Many over-season, yes.
But please do not fall down the government nanny trap of trying to advocate laws to tell people how and what to eat.

Salt is not classified as an addictive substance.

Salt is a building block of life.

"Salt is a building block of life."

You're a salt hippie, salt hippie!

Sodium is certainly present in many chemicals and organisms but table salt is not a "building block of life", whatever that means.

I think he confused NaCl with DNA, which is the building block of life.

I agree. Portland over salts. I blame it on chefs burning off their taste buds sucking on cigarettes. But that's just me...

Sugars over salts, redheads over blondes, bourbon over ice.

you whiny bitch!

Steve now that your are getting older you sodium RDA is decreasing. It is now half what is listed on the ingredient panel. The American RDA is a political document. So I will cite the science based Canadian one: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-003-x/2006…

Per day:
1,000 milligrams (mg) for children aged 1 to 3

1,200 mg for children aged 4 to 8

1,500 mg for people aged 9 to 50

1,300 mg for adults aged 51 to 70

1,200 mg for seniors over 70 years of age.

Exceeded by any one meal out in america.
