Salting it Away

We are repeatedly told that vegan foods are the 'healthy option' (https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/mar/10/most-vegan-restaurant-meals-have-high-levels-of-salt-research-finds). A study has reportedly found, however, that some 80% of vegan courses, offered in restaurants, have very high levels of salt (used to improve taste) that would get them graded in the red (dangerous) area with respect to health codes (high levels of salt increase blood pressure, making a stroke more likely). If we really want to eat healthily, we need to check the salt content before ordering the vegan option. Doing that will also encourage chefs to find less dangerous (albeit perhaps more pricey) ways of improving the taste of the food.
