I say this as I am munching on a packet of Walkers crisps and was looking at the back of the packet.

it says 'SODIUM* 0.2g PER 25g PACK' and '*EQUIVALENT AS SALT 0.4g PER 25g PACK'

Salt is 'sodium chloride' so why separate the two on the back of each packet, the mind boggles well mine does.

Btw, it says that our recommended daily intake of salt is 6g for MEN and 6g for WOMEN and 4g for CHILDREN 5 - 10 YEARS OLD. When I have chips which is quite often I tend to put loads on, big mistake you think? Im only 20 so perhaps its not so bad as someone who is elderly

Your not alone I assure you, I love my salt and savoury is my favourite before sweet.

Well Im sweet enough already so my wife tells me as she pinches one of my crisps

Its funny but I tend to put much less on when Im having a gravy dinner than when Im having just a simple fishcake and chips or burger and chips, then I kind of go mad. Plenty of pepper to which I love to bits ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO!

I'm a bit worried about mine. My food always looks like its been dropped in compost then in chalk I put that much salt and pepper on mine

[nicola001]

[Shaun]

Just rob a load of sachets from school/college

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm starting to. I always just looked at how much fat products contained, I never really worried about salt. Then I watched that Jamie Oliver show...changed my life.

To be fair, I only do that when I'm eating crap, and Sunday dinners which is half and half, but more pepper than salt with gravy. I tend to eat healthily most of the time so its not really a problem

Its just bad for your heart and I think your liver to. But to die young and stay pretty is what some think like today. Plus plenty of foul play of course

Oh and 'big brother' how could I forget huh

Well the irony is I already have a bad heart which is why I have such an interest in sport (if you read the talents thread anyway) But if I drop dead tomorrow at least I'll leave behind a pretty corpse rather than some old wrinkly thing

[Dan_]

I do kinda worry but then realise how boring most other foods taste without salt.

[Ashleee:)]

i dont put salt on anything, everyone thinks its weird! to me there's nothing worse than food covered in salt lol

[Lauren]

I feel sick reading this thread! I hate salt on foods!

[Captain.Remy]

I really don't mind, I will care when I will be a 60 y-o old man lol

[Ann]

Well With Me I Only Use A Pinch Of Salt In My Potatoes and Vegetables When I'm Cooking Otherwise I Hate It

[Dr43%er]

I used to smother my food in salt. I now only use it when cooking. I don't add it at the table. With pepper i am the other way round. I used to hate it. Now I can't get enough.

[Jackie]

Im not too worried i don't eat many crisps and i don't add salt to my dinners or chips.
