I'm with you, Nutritionpost. Processed foods, which most people in the western world eat too much of, have murderous amounts of sodium in them. I try to choose lower sodium foods in part because all that salt is not necessary, and also because I have mildly elevated blood pressure. You find salt added to the foods you least expect to contain it (breakfast cereal). Some grocery stores carry only Hormel's tenderized, sodium-laden "marinated" pork. Very frustrating to shop unless you are lucky enough to have shops that carry foods that are unprocessed.
