Here as well. There were Public Service Announcement ads in the late 80's showing someone shaking salt onto all this food and then warning of all these health risks. Unless you have High Blood Pressure or Congestive Heart Failure, there is actually little medical risk to salt.
That said, I do use less than I used to. Once you can lower your salt threshold by gradually using less in every meal, you can get by with less, and you really notice it when you taste something salty. This is part of why I avoid most processed foods and chains like Applebee's now.
