re: #220 SixDegrees

Salt…well, I’m probably bad about that. But I do most of my cooking from scratch. And there’s actually some question over whether salt is all that bad for you. Some people are sensitive to it, and for them it boosts blood pressure, but it turns out this is rather rare; most people can severely restrict their salt intake and see no change in their blood pressure. So unless I see a problem, I put on as much salt as I think a meal needs.

I got to keep it low because of my heart. Tends to aggravate Congestive Heart Failure. No problem though - if we ever break bread together, I’ll just shove the salt shaker towards your end of the table!
