But if you cook for yourself, you absolutely need to salt your food, and you'll STILL be using way less salt than the processed food people. Reason number five billion to cook for yourself!

After having a nutritional analysis done my doctor told me I was 'salt deficient'. And I was not even trying to reduce my salt intake. Mom always told me "you need salt"!

Not "as if" Eric, IT HAS! It seems so obvious it's hard to understand but the entire act of eating has indeed been outsourced. What I love the most about breakaway cooking is that it's really about regaining control fr yourself. Being aware of what you eat simply through cooking. Breakaway is so real, so honest, it's subversive. Now, how do we wake up people who are spellbound by convenience?

Thanks for the additional guidelines. I started buying some quality sea salt to enhance the food instead of using way too many condiments to flavor it. I totally agree with your philosophy.
