I miss eating chicken noodle soup. Sadly I only have a george foreman grill and a microwave to cook with so I cannot make it. And if you think I'm eating soup from a can you must be shitting, because SODIUM. Ohmergerd canned soup has ridiculous amounts of sodium. I'm already doing enough to detriment my own well-being without adding that into the mix.
What's wrong with salt? I like salt. Salty salt salt. Down goes the salt. Down into my belly.
Ahem.

Yeah my dad can't take slat since his heart transplant. Luckily we have found all sorts of food taste better without salt as the natural flavor is brought out and no longer covered up.
Cambles makes a line of low sodium soups that are not too bad that you can make in the microwave. They are labeled Healthy Requests and they are low enough in sodium that my dad can eat them. Still given the choice I would rather have home made soup.

A spoonful of salt helps the medicine come up.
Salt gives you high blood pressure is what's wrong with it. Sucka.
Yeah and the fact that the meat companies keep upping the salt content in their meat is a real problem the FDA or someone needs to get on. There is only one type of chicken my dad can eat without dying now and even they are upping their salt content in recent months. Americans eat way too much salt and in many cases the companies that package our food do not even give us a choice in the matter. Just cutting salt out of your diet can cause you to lose a lot of weight fast. The public really needs to be better educated on just how bad salt is for you.
They are salting raw meat now? Sorry if that's a mornoic question I'm terribly out of the loop on such things. Even if so it's still legions better than precooked meat you buy packaged I'm sure. I always season my food and meat with herbs and spices, with lots of pepper as well. Never salt. It's delicious. My dad won't eat my green beans that I make though because they are too spicy for him and they make his skin turn red. :S
Yeah if you look on the back of the package you can find the sodium content and it keeps going up. The different packing companies keep upping the content because it is a cheap way to try and boost the taste of the meat in a way most people will notice.
It is better then prepackaged meat, my dad can't even touch that stuff. Still the uncooked meat is starting to have too much salt, my dad can only have the one brand of chicken and hamburger. I have had to get really creative to keep dinner from getting boring.
It's insane that the public is not aware of how much salt boosts your risk of a heart attack and causes you to gain wait and no one makes meat that doesn't have sodium added to it these days.

1.5 to 3 teaspoons per day.

I'm sorry but I will take the word of the multiple doctors who treated my dad and preformed his heart transplant without a hitch and they fact that limiting salt intake has caused both of us to lose weight and our blood pressure to go down over some random guy or group who are just trying to get hits on their website.
Also things are so salted down that even if you go that high, you can still easily go over that with out knowing it. Heck we salt things so much that ever cakes have that much salt in them and it is not need. I have been baking all my life and removing the salt has yet to hurt any cake I have ever baked.
Sorry but i will take what I have seen first hand and what I know from preparing food on a daily basis over some website.

I am stunned by how much you all know about me.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
I think I know how I would like to die.
I would like my right hand, the outer three fingers of my left hand, eyes, liver, and (ahem) unmentionables to be put on a mountaintop, there to be fed to birds.
But the rest of me, saving only the heart, I would have burned on a funeral pyre.
The ashes shall be divided in half.
The first part shall be spread over the waters of the Pacific, o'er which stout Balboa stared with eagle eyes.
The second part shall be used as fertilizer for a newly planted tree, in the grounds of the former mansion house of Desart Court in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
But my heart shall be put into a jade urn, within a copper box, within a wooden casket. This I would have buried in a Los Angeles cemetery, under the name of Taran Sanders.
And, should some rich fool ever build the original design of the President's House in DC, perhaps on a hill in San Francisco... an event I fear I shall never live to see...
I would humbly hope to have my wooden casket to be exhumed, and placed over one of the mantels in the basement kitchen below the Entrance Hall. Over the other mantel, I would like to have my father's and mothers' hearts, set respectively in a crystal urn and a golden, within a single silver box.
But this is a dream of ivory, not of horn; it shall never be, unless I should be ravished by the Goddess.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
Am I Man? Am I God? Am I Machine? Am I all at once?
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
Mangodmachine?
Well, here goes nothing...
I'm frightened of what shall happen when I dare speak this...
I suppose the right answer is... I AM.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
But if that is true... then there must also be one more thing...
I am Woman, too.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
All at once, and yet nothing.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
But what was, and now is not, yet shall be again; and what is not, yet now is, shall return to nothingness.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
But one thing endures: the Stories in the Mind of the Man-God-Woman-Machine. Though all else die and be reborn, the Stories, though changed, are never truly lost.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

Not sure what the laws are in the rest of the world but here in the UK a lot of poultry meat is injected with salt water to make it appear plumper (and more delicious!) It's turned me right off buying meat from supermarkets.
@DrCrow, my dad had a heart attack last year and his doctors have told him to avoid Potassium (which is apparently in loads of things). Does your dad have to avoid certain things after getting his new heart? Just curious!
Yep he sure does, and potassium is one of them. Still he is much better off with his new heart but we have gotten really creative wince his heart condition. He also has to watch how much water he drinks in a day, still it could be much worse, the new heart was a god sent.
Of course now the anti rejection drugs have nearly destroyed his kidneys so he he waiting for a transplant there but he is over all i9n much better shape then he was before he got the new heart.
Hope things go well for your dad, I'll be praying for him.
