Sodium???
I'm worried I'm eating too much sodium. The problem is that I eat turkey sandwiches most days of the week and that has a bunch of sodium in it. It gets really hard to find different types of healthy food on a college campus, and being an art student during finals season, I have little to know time to cook. Any suggestions?
