<p>It’s been said before but EmeraldKitty is right; processed food is often the culprit. One of the biggest offenders in the battle against obesity and good health is…SALT. I felt so validated when I read today’s online NY Times story about the NYC health department’s meeting with major food manufacturers in an effort to get them to reduce the sodium content in their packaged foods. For several months I’ve essentially gone cold turkey on table salt. And I read the sodium content on packaged foodstuffs very carefully. That and other improved eating habits have led to a significant weight loss. Try it folks.</p>
