I could not disagree more, but then half my family are professional chefs to I'm used to decent food.

As implied already should I stop eating snacks with a lot of salt* already in them, I'm sure I'll add it to my food to ensure I get my "6" grams daily. I can't wait tbh, I mean if your family of pro chefs state that my food will taste even nicer then it means I have something to look forward to.

As already said both of these reasons are why I don't add it to food where I can help it. YOU might THINK my food taste's worse when the results of being a chef are so subjective and debateable anyway but I'd rather listen to the more scientific conclusions of all the doctors out there who for the reason stated above* agree with my approach. Taste v health? No contest I'm afraid.

Dude, you took that a lot more offensively then was intended.

Anyway depending on your life style the 6g can be a bit off. If you do a lot of cardio exercise and sweat a lot a bit extra salt won't do any harm.

Then you're either not seasoning it properly or you have no sense of taste. Seasoning is one of the most important things in cooking.

I also dont put salt in my cooking.

No offence taken fella.

That last point is so interesting, a lot of people from hotter parts of the world who have emigrated, yet retained their original recipes are suffering now because they for example don't sweat as much.

The thing is, if you reduce the amount of processed food you eat, you cut your salt intake massively.

Oh totally, it's scary what's in processed food, though this country is perhaps getting a little bit better. All in all good diet not bad meal if that makes any sense

I usually only put salt on bacon, which i cook in butter, sure its already salty, and sure you can cook it in its own fat, but as greenlizard said......Taste v health? No contest I'm afraid.

So, the Country's going to hell in a hand-basket and all that those in charge can do is dictate what we, the people who pay their wages, can eat?

Cretins!
