    If you dont salt fries straight out of the fryer you may as well not bother.

      Where I worked they’d get plenty of salt in the fryer. Whenever some asshat would order fries with no salt, we’d take already cooked and salted fries and just drop 'em back in the fryer for a few seconds. Crisps them up and takes some of the saltiness away. Wait… something doesn’t math right in that equation. Oh well.

        Low sodium foods are a legitimate health need for a lot of people -myself included since my teens through no fault of my own- and you don’t fuck with people’s health.

        Just because some people abuse the system doesn’t mean you punish people who are just trying to survive. Same with allergies.

        But hey I’m glad to know being born with crap genes makes me an asshat. That attitude is what’s wrong with the world.

            What does fried food have to do with requiring low sodium?

              More than 60% of people with high blood pressure also have high cholesterol and both conditions significantly threaten heart health.

              Therefore, it’s not a stretch to assume that someone who requires a low sodium diet has high blood pressure and also has high cholesterol or is at risk.

              If it’s me, I’m on a high protein, high fiber diet with a focus on living and fermented foods.

                I don’t. And it’s really rude of you to assume I do and try to give me condescending, basic, advice based on that incorrect assumption (that was strongly hinted against in what you replied to) and nothing else. I have hypertension through genes. I’ve been on a low sodium diet most of my life and medication since I was 19, when I was in the military and in the best shape of my life. I’m mid 30s now. I grew up with a great diet, and active lifestyle, so eating something moderately unhealthy now and then isn’t actually a risk, but that unknown salt absolutely is.

                So like… don’t be all weird when “more than 60%” is a miss with roughly 40%. And maybe just keep it to yourself either way because even if you are right? You don’t know what they do or don’t know, or what issues they have around their health. It’s none of your business and you almost certainly aren’t helping anyone.

                It is a stretch when you’re hearing from that person directly.
