Most canned/bottled/processed foods are very high in salt. People like
salt and some are addicted to it and cannot taste the low or no salt
foods as well. As you can see once you restrict salt, you really don't
need as much as many foods have.

The relationship of salt to high blood pressure is questionable, but
that aside, I just don't like a lot of salt in my foods, nor do I want
to east many of them with no salt. Cooking at home, it is easy to get a
good balance, but eating out or canned products, most have too much for
my taste.
