You probably know it’s a good idea to eat less salt, or even avoid adding salt to your food.  Too much salt can lead to problems, such as hypertension (high blood pressure). Last week, Kraft Foods announced they’re going to add less salt to some of their products.  They have promised to use 10% less…

OK, what’s so bad about you? Are you really that worthless? Are you really so fat and ugly? Do you really deserve the harsh judgment and low self-esteem you throw on yourself?
