Uh, 'scuse me, but ALL the labels I've read for the past many years list
sodium content per serving... Informing? Yes. Banning? That's not the
least bit sensible.

You can also generally find nutritional information on line for most
restaurant foods:

<http://www.redlobster.com/health/nutrition/dinner.asp>

<http://www.fastfoodnutrition.org/r-nutrition-facts/McDonalds-item.html>

Just a quick perusal of those three shows that most commercial
restaurant foods are astronomically high in Sodium, but we already knew
this. ;-) The point of posting this is to show that the information IS
available!

Moral to the story, you want to eat low sodium? Avoid pre-prepared
foods and eating out. Cook and eat at home only...
