If you are a Canadian like me, and you are trying to keep those dreaded sodium levels down...you really should watch this. Thankfully I do not eat a lot of prepackaged food or dine out a lot, but who can avoid it entirely!? Especially some of those things we think are a little healthier like All Bran!!

    yeah, when we got electricity our igloos melted 'cause we didn't insulate the wires properly....turns out whale blubber isn't so good for that....So, we have to build log huts out of driftwood that manages to find its way north from the southern warmer climates wher e there's things called trees and we use animal bones to sheath the wiring now...we'll catch up to you guys at some point with yer fancy metal contraptions and polyester clothing! :laugh:

    I do ride a moose to go to school...!

    But well, as a Canadian too, I knew for quite a time that we had sodium issues here. But the difference is huge !! Can't believe we (as a society) don't complain more to those companies about sodium level in their products. Can't wait for the government to get some law in all that because we can't hope companies will do something about it.
