I don't usually buy premade food in the supermarkets, but when I do - I'm super picky. The thing about them is that even the best meals I can find have too much salt. The ingredients are fine, it's really not hard to get meals that aren't superprocessed for cheap, but the macros are always off.
<2 grams of salt per serving is what I find unusually few in premade meals, and it's still an awful lot compared to what I'm personally adding when I cook.
salt tastes good
People who are used to eating that much salt just don't even notice when good is way too salty. I grew up eating whatever processed shit was put in front of me, but after reducing my salt and sugar intake years ago, I'm now acutely sensitive to food when it's too salty or sweet, which is a serious departure from my tastes when I was young
Yeah, it's a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, you're less likely to binge on food you find too salty or sweet, but on the other hand, it's harder to find a treat you'll actually enjoy when you do indulge.
