...salt shaker. A single serving of instant chocolate pudding can have twice as much sodium as a small bag of potato chips, and a scoop of cottage cheese three times that of a handful of salted peanuts. Thanks in part to the sodium in baking powder and baking soda, baked goods and cereals are the No. 1 source of sodium in the diet of many Americans. Preservatives such as sodium benzoate and sodium nitrite and flavorings like monosodium glutamate (MSG) also contribute. Even vitamin C is often added to foods in the culpable form of sodium ascorbate...
...learned low-sodium cooking in a follow-up program for hypertensives in Jackson, Miss. Because she is used to salt-heavy Southern dishes, some of the things she was warned against are special. Avoid instant grits. Do not use self-rising flour, because it is full of soda and baking powder. Do not cook with salt pork. Use yeast-leavened bread. The course also gives instruction on how to make low-sodium corn bread and biscuits. Recalls Taylor: "Before my taste buds adjusted, the squash, the okra just tasted yukky.

...Soda presents a major challenge in the battle of man versus machine, particularly at Alex's where the instrumentation is exclusively state of the art. The Coke-spitting units have to be programmed for the desired amount of soda and an appropriately sized cup. On my maiden run, however, I paired a small cup with a large soda, creating a substantial overflow, which mostly ended up on my orange-and-black Alex's uniform...
...there would be no need for Mr. Shuttleworth. No Gobbler would have been welcome in the days when Kilroy was here. But Kilroy is not here any more and his, in any case, was a benevolent omnipresence. Not so with his successors: TURP, BOOB, HURK, DZ3, SONY, JUNIOR Y, SODA 1, whose names-if they are names-twist and bubble on the flat surfaces of our lives like virulent bacteria. No place in the country is safe, but New York City is actually under siege, its walls tottering under the cumulative weight of the lettering. So dire are the city...
