Pays to read the ingredients label. I am amazed since I started reading labels to find that the
manufacturers of food take the fat out and put tons more salt in to give it "flavor." I can buy
lunch meat with a few more fat grams that has much lower sodium content than the low fat version by
the same company. What I ended up doing was buying chicken and turkey and slicing it for sandwiches.
Even then you have to be careful if you're on a low sodium diet. Most "bargain" bags of flash frozen
boneless, skinless chicken breasts have been sprayed or dipped in a saline solution prior to flash
freezing. Boosts the sodium content even if you wash the saline solution off with fresh water. Teach
DH about label Margaret, he may be with you a lot longer that way.
