Salt anyone?

[thatbloke]

Anyone else noticed how much salt is in food these days? I bought some olives the other day and I had to bin them because of the amount of salt in them.

I have a bin laden with unappetising food I`ve bought - it all cost me a bomb

They call salt the white death, its far worse for you than sugar

I never put salt on my food or add it to cooking. I avoid all high salt foods esp processed rubbish and cured meats

Salt occurs naturally in most foods there is no need to add it to your food

Sugar and salt are just as bad for as each other.

Depends on the individual, someone with high blood pressure should avoid high salt contents, someone with diabetes should avoid sugar.

Like spacecat I don't add salt to anything I eat or any cooking I am doing

A pinch of salt wouldn't kill you. Everything in moderation is fine.

Adding salt and sugar is an acquired taste

There its no need to do so but people are raised to do it.

Its one of the reasons why diabetes,hypertension and obesity is rising so fast

I see your point. But in my opinion, the small amount added when cooking is not a big problem. What we should be concerned about is the amounts already added to the processed rubbish we all love to eat.

Don't go over the top and cut out all salt. The body needs some to help it absorb nutrients.

Olives are cured in salt water for 6 months to a year FFS of course they'll taste of F*****g salt

If you choose salt cured olives, then they are salt cured (in salt) all around the world. If you don't want salt cured olives, don't buy them. Simples.

Guys I have eaten Fkin olives before, We basically live in Greece for a lot of the time.
The olives I bought in tescos (says it all right there) , like most foods in the UK had way too much salt added to them.
If you are having trouble with this go to tescos and buy their olives.
