The document discusses sodium consumption in the American diet. It states that 9 out of 10 Americans consume too much salt, with processed and restaurant foods contributing 77% of the sodium in the average diet. While snacks like chips are high in salt, many other foods like soups, breads, sandwiches, and cheese also contain significant sodium. The 2010 dietary guidelines recommend no more than 2,300mg of sodium per day but the average US consumer eats 3,400mg daily.
