Low-salt, or reduced salt soups are (IMO) disgusting. Or, unsalted, or low salt peanuts... I mean, who the heck wants to eat peanuts without salt?

I can't say I'm terribly surprised by all of this. What is good for us today will be bad for us tomorrow - and the reverse is probably true as well. I think a lot of the things we're told not to eat are okay in moderation. Of course, perhaps I'm wrong, maybe I just like the occasional cheese burger or steak too much to care. Hmm.
