890 is a little more than half the daily sodium allowance. 1500-2500mg, but safer to be on the 1500mg range.

You'd be amazed at the sodium contents in many things. Diet frozen entrée, Diet Sodas. Yes, soup, is high in sodium.

I had to take nutrition training, for work.

I wasn't aware, of the credits on the MA SNAP program, must it still be in the works? I am aware of MA, being one of the states, that's been rolling out the numbers for the government, as far as public school lunches go. Dietary guidelines, must be met, in order to qualify for the government reimbursements. Audits, will be, this spring. My kitchen stands a 1 in 5 chance, in being one of the elementary schools, in my town, to have that one. Portion control. 2oz protein, 1/2c-3/4c veggie, 1/2c-3/4 cup fruit, 8oz (=1c)milk. I think the lunch calorie, don't have it memorized is 600 for lower grades. Then there's the whole color scheme, whole grains, etc, etc etc....
Thanks for this!
