I'm actually really worried about my salt intake. Recommended is something like 2100mg a day and I figure I've been getting somewhere around four or five times that much. My arteries must be harder than Ron Jeremy. |
Yeah, I worry about that as well. When I want to salt meals at home, I use potassium chloride instead of table salt. Supposedly potassium can to some extent balance out the effects of getting lots of sodium, since your body generally tries to keep a "balance" between the two. Too much of either will kill your heart -- overdose of potassium chloride is what they use for lethal injection. |

I'm pretty sure you could kill yourself with a cup of it. But it's not hard to avoid overdose. Just don't use much more of it than you would use of regular salt... |

From your boyfriend?
I used to eat KFC three to four times a week (athlete's metabolism for the win), but these days I'm down to about once a fortnight. |

My roommate at school one year used to buy these big boxes of sunflower seeds. It seemed like he went through a few bags of seeds every day. |

This might seem like a stupid question...but was your roommate a bird by any chance? |

LOL, nope. He just loved the sunflower seeds. And burnt popcorn -- our suitemates used to bitch at him for burning the popcorn because the smell leaked into their room. |

| It's the cheese that makes all the difference. |
