The FDA is asking food makers and eating establishments to voluntarily reduce salt levels in their products to help reduce Americans' high salt intake.
The draft guidelines target these sources of salt with the goal of reducing Americans' average daily salt intake from 3,400 milligrams (mg) a day to 2,300 mg a day.
[...] Currently, 90 percent of American adults consume more salt than recommended, the FDA pointed out.
[...] The public has until the fall to comment on the FDA's voluntary salt guidelines for food manufacturers and restaurants.
The FDA claims that people can always add more salt to their food, which is true, but they ignore that salt changes how food is cooked and adding salt to the surface of food affects taste differently than when it is evenly distributed.

Herbs and spices. Cumin, cardamom, allspice, oregano, basil, cayenne, etc. Learn to use them. Salt, fat, and sugar excite your taste buds. Spices can do the same thing without the salt, fat, and sugar.
Wanted to add this to my post about my mom but I can't edit submitted posts.
My weaknesses now are pasta and bread. And sitting on my ass with a keyboard or PS3 controller in my hand for 15 of my 16 waking hours per day.
My ducks are not in a row. I don't know where some of them are, and I'm pretty sure one of them is a turkey.

High protein foods actually reduce your feeling of hunger and help reduce overconsumption.
