I guarantee you that most people eat well over 1200 mg sodium per day and don't get nearly enough potassium even with self control. It's difficult even with self control because of how terrible food is in the us.

It's not at all impossible, just cut down eating the lowest form of processed foods and learn to cook.

I'm not paying to season my own food lmfao.

A restaurant is a treat you don't eat there everyday, that's the whole point to spoil yourself with delicious food. Restaurants don't cook like you do at home, it's mostly butter and salt that's what makes it good.

So, you want everybody's restaurant food to be unseasoned… like a cruise ship catering to heart patients.

Yeah I don't know where OP got 1,200, but 2,300 is really actually the maximum. We should be aiming for about 1,800

Most doctors recommend 2,000 for the average person

The 2,000 number has been fairly stable for a long time. I'm not sure it ever will change

While I don't know if unsalted is the right answer, I think most places could cut the salt in half at the very least. Most food has become so oversalted that we've become taste blind to it. We don't notice it in our food any more, so we need to add more and more salt in order to feel that things are "properly" salted. But when you make a concerted effort to cut sodium from your diet (and get past the period where everything tastes bland) you start to realize just how oversalted everything really is. I mostly cook everything from scratch now, and when I go to a restaurant or eat something pre-made, it feels like I'm having all the moisture sucked out of my body from all the salt in it.
