31. Well...........??? Got back to my ...."SALT ADDICTION" AGAIN..
Sat Sep 24, 2022, 10:22 AM
Sep 2022

Yesterday I bought something called , "CHEEZ IT"....................

On the box it says ...100% real cheese...........but it doesn't say .....real salt

I bought 2 boxes of these snacks.... So, on the first box, I ate about half..& then threw the rest of it away.......

So, I saved the 2nd box for later...I started this morning on the second box...I noted that again I couldn't stop eating this
snack..............? Why?........It contained 230 mg of salt per 20 crackers..( they are very small..on purpose)

So, a person doesn't think these small treats can hurt them. So, I ate some of the 2nd box of crackers, and threw the
rest of it out....Kellogg Snack company....(yes the cereal company from Battle Creek Michigan) knows exactly how
addictive these things are, and puts in exactly the amount of salt that pleases the taste, and gets you to eat some more.

And eventually buy some more, because it tastes so good

So, if you don't think the above sentence is true, look at the salt contents on the treat and you will see the amount...
Yes, it is required by law to but that on the box. And you will find a whole lot of salt in many products.

Why?........The makers of the food products know these products are......ADDICTIVE...AND WANT MORE SALES
OF THE PRODUCTS, AND IT IS ALL ABOUT SELLING MORE PRODUCTS ....do the makers of the products care if you die from eating them?.

..I don't think so, I think the executives of the companies that make these products want
more sales so they can make more .......MONEY!!!!!!

.......................hOW COULD THAT BE???? oh no .........Time to Hide again...

and....I will never buy CHEEZ IT...AGAIN....NEVER!!.....................signed, Stuart the addict...

Salt causes increased blood pressure, and increased blood pressure causes heart disease & heart attacks..
and ...............HEART DISEASE AND HEART ATTACKS KILL!! IS THAT RIGHT? ....
