The 4th of July weekend... a holiday where we gather with friends & family. The downside is that more than not, people tend to overeat. This morning I've read blogs and chat-boards of people confessing their food intake and now jumping back on that exercise treadmill. I know that many items were on the menu at our house that are typically never there. Even though we don't even have salt in our house, many of the foods naturally contain sodium. Amazing. Ridiculous. Unnecessary. There's no way to totally escape sodium.
In researching the past 7 months, I've found some great internet resources I want to share. They are enlightening on just how healthy (or unhealthy) the food you are eating (or feeding to your children & family) truly is...
For a list of individual items in a spreadsheet format:

For the sodium in a smaller food chart:

If you are more inclined to support chain restaurants/fast-food, this is a resource for those items:
