I notice over salting more in individually owned and operated
restaurants. Like someone said - it seems like chefs are in a salt
contest. It reminds me of my first visit to Europe when restaurants
were still heavy handed with salt. That kind of over salting might be
fine for one or two meals, but it's not okay when you're eating out 3
meals a day for 30+ days. Apparently there was a big public education
program and subsequently, I thought salt was used in enough moderation
that my taste buds and body didn't object. Not saying I didn't notice
the difference when I got home - and yes, it was a relief not to be
bombarded by salt.
