I wonder how much a company can reduce the sodium before the taste of
the item is affected? I'lll bet it's more than we think.

If you read the article, you'll find that many companies have already been
lowering the salt but don't say anything. If they say something, public
opinion says the product must taste bad. If they say nothing, sales go on
as before.
