Another way to look at it is this the daily allowance for most people is 2500 mg of sodium per day. Restaurants can structure their meals so the maximum sodium content is 1000 mg. This could be a meal consisting of soup, salad, entree and dessert. They can also post the sodium content for all of the menu items, but this will cost the restaurant some money to get the meals tested by a lab. There are a lot of better solutions than an outright ban of salt, which makes no sense at all.
