I remember back in middle school doing the food diary for a day and I was consuming WAYYY too much salt based on that. Little did I know that not a single person in my class was consuming at or even close to the recommended value. I still to this day rarely put added salt on my food, but it doesn't look like that is really enough. Insightful post and I'm glad you wrote about this!

Middle schools were the days of never worrying about salt intake.
Doesn't mean that it is any less damaging though. Salt intake builds up over time not to mention there is likely a correlation between diet as a child and food choices in adulthood. It's why kids with obese parents tend to end up obese as well.
good point, that's true.
Almost everyone consumes too much salt without knowing!
follow me i will you plz
