that's cool. i mean if it doesnt work out thats fine, just saying i dont mind that restaurants get in the hot seat to try harder.

i think that salt is the common denominator in restaurant/take out food that's much more saturated than it should be, and its widespread acceptance makes it more of a risk than other additives that may be more chemically harmful, but less omnipresent. sure it serves more as an exacerbator than a cause, but theres not many food items with an overdose of salt that doesnt also abuse caloric content in general. so on top of ingesting foods which might lead to congestive heart failure, salt multiplies that risk along with high blood pressure and stroke.

i'm not coming at this from the perspective of 'people needing to be saved from themselves', i'm coming at with the 'hell yes make restaurants try a little harder to make something that tastes and is a little more decent for you' take
