Salt

In the plane to Salt Lake City, we were served a series of very dumb movies, SALT being the only title I can remember. As we were working (or sleeping), this was of no importance, but the few bits of SALT I watched (with no earphone) seemed quite ludicrous in its complete lack of plausibility… To keep with the salt theme, I also discovered during this same trip that what I thought were healthy cereals were in fact filled with much more salt than chips! To wit, a serving of Raisin Brans had 15% of the daily amount of salt, Quaker Oatmeal Squares 10%, and even the “super healthy” Special K still contains 9% of the (excessive) daily allowance… Even more surprising, one serving of hot cocoa mix also contains this amount of salt!
