Hopefully this can help some people. I know it will probably help me. I'm a lower sodium person. Not really for health reasons, either. I grew up in a lower sodium household because someone in my family had to eat less sodium for heath reasons, and over time, everyone in our household's palates adjusted. Long story short, for the most part, I really just don't like salty foods. Once in a while, I'll get a craving, and down a bag of cheetos for SURE, but 99% of the time, I will eat unsalted potato chips and tortilla chips, and most ppl will look at me like I have three heads, after they try one.
So, I've seen threads on this board asking if other ppl think the food at WDW is way too salty based on their recent experience, and then other ppl start coming out of the woodwork in agreement.
1. Well, its an amusement park.
2. There's a lot of processed food going on.
3. I think ppl in warmer climates, by nature, tend to intake more salt. (Don't ask me to back that up by science.)
4. Most ppl like salt for flavor.
5. There's always the, "So they can sell more drinks" argument.
So listen, I thought it would be helpful to have a thread where ppl can share experiences, thoughts, ideas, specific restaurants or dishes, that could help those of us that have some reason to seek out foods that are not so salty.
Also, this should probably kept "loose" as far as exact sodium levels. Only opinions. You'll notice that I titled the thread as "Lower" Sodium, and not LOW sodium. I went down a rabbit hole on the web once, and I found out that some foods cannot be labeled "LOW SODIUM" unless they are under some limit of sodium. This thread is not some medical guideline. Just loose ideas for those of us that try to watch sodium intake for whatever reason. This is also not to bash any restaurant at ALL. Some foods are salty for some people, some are not. I don't think that's bad or good. It just is what it is.
Mods, if you need to delete this entire thing, or add restrictions, I understand.
