  Salt is the real killer here. The problem is not so much what you put on your food in a salt cellar, but the amount in processed food. About three quarters of your salt comes in this way. Breakfast cereal for example has a lot. So does toast and muffins. Best to look at the labels.
  
  I have a very silly non-speaking role in a BBC “One Show” story about this. Watch this video on salt and laugh at me!

Thank you, for that clip it was very interesting and has showed me and some of my classmates about the amount of salt we put in our food, and how much cereal bars and bread we eat.

So I hope your project goes well!

yes – if I can upload a photo from my web page I can show you the aftermath of the demonstration (red food dye all over the place). I’ll try and add it to my profile page.
