if you make your own meals. It's the prepared foods that do a person in because they use salt as a preservative.

Fortunately I love vegetarian cooking and it doesn't bother me in the least to sit around during the evening, watching tv and prepping for dishes for the next day. That way I avoid eating in the evening and I have my meals ready to go the next day, all cooked and prepped (and very often grown) by me.

Looking at the amount of sodium on prepared food labels is nothing short of astounding.
