I have to admit I'm a salt-a-holic, always have been. I like to salt pizza, salads and noodles. When I do have French fries I tend to load them up with salt; otherwise, what's the point? That philosophy also applies to just about any potato dish put in front of me as well.

Thankfully I'm not much of a fast food eater nor do I care for most of the available frozen dinners, so perhaps I'm semi-safe for the time being.
