The Low Sodium Kick

My wife went on this “no salt” kick for a while, because she said I was consuming too much sodium in my food. She started buying no-salt V-8 juice, no-salt soup, no-salt green beans, etc. I tried the things she bought, but soon decided that there is a reason that things have salt in them.

One night, she came into the kitchen and caught me shaking salt from the saltshaker into the V-8 bottle. I made up some lame excuse about the salt releasing the vitamins out of the vegetable juice. She didn’t buy it. However, I think the real low point came when I had to start hiding “salted” green bean cans in a “secret stash” in the back of the pantry behind foods we rarely ate. Who has ever heard of someone having to hide a stash of vegetables, so his wife wouldn’t find them?!
