We as a consumer should be allowed to decide what we put in our bodies..

If they have sodium restricted diets, they should order food accordingly. Many, many chefs would be accommodating. After all, it is in the chef's best interest to please the customer.<br /><br />This type of legislation driven to the restauranteur is ridiculous. What about all the fast food and convenience food that is loaded with sodium? Salt is important for flavor and balance as much as it is important for preservation.Mary Kiernannoreply@blogger.com
