Boston Market is pulling salt shakers off its tables because they say if fits in their plans to reduce the sodium levels in some of its food. Which makes absolutely no sense to me.
The restaurant is starting at 476 locations and more will follow.

In addition to removing salt shakers from tables, the Colorado based company also plans to reduce the amount of sodium in its dishes, 20 percent in the next six months. All of its dishes would have 15% less sodium in the coming years.
According to the Boston Market nutritional information on its website, half of a rotisserie chicken currently contains 1380 mg of sodium. A large portion of meatloaf has 1640 mg of sodium.
Some consumers are fuming over the news, complaining on Facebook and Twitter, one FB posts commenting, “Boston market, the new Nanny State of Restaurants.”
BM says the shakers will still be available by the drink machines for people who absolutely have to have extra salt.
Why do some corporations treat us like children?
