To be concerned about my DSS salt intake

[yellowumbrella]

The other day I caught him adding salt to a cooked pizza.
He is 19.
Food 'doesn't taste right' without adding a shite load of salt to it. He knows it's bad but just laughs it off. Dp doesn't see the problem, I'm generally concerned for him, he doesn't like my suggestion of seeing a doctor incase of underlying issue.

I got engaged at 20, that doesn't mean that DM and indeed DMIL wouldn't have passed comment on salt on pizza or the amount of sugar I put on rice crispies when no ones looking.

YABU - it's his body so up to him what he puts in it. Personally I find food cooked with no salt to be inedible and no amount of added salt at the table will make a difference.

I love a chunk of white bread with beef dripping and salt - may mean I die a year earlier than I should but would prefer to enjoy my food while I'm alive since there's nothing after you die.

It's not dying a year early you should be worried about silveroldie2, it's being reduced to an invalid for the last five years by the massive stroke....

Pizza does not need salt, 19 or not, he would not be passed the salt pot here

Why do you get to decide that for other adults, very rude and controlling

I don't think the OP is being either rude or controlling - and as she says she has a good relationship with him, why should she mind her own business - she's being understandably concerned. Having said that, as he's 19, there's no way of getting him to go to either GP or nurse unless he wants to, and if her DP isn't bothered either, then there's not a whole lot she can do apart from hiding the salt cellar!

If I refused to pass the salt pot to my 19 year old he would go out and buy his own, and I wouldn't blame him!

You can tell them how unhealthy it is but 19 is an adult, old enough to make their own choices. Even if you don't agree with them

God I was a student at 19. Most students life off shite. Washed down with alcohol.

A pizza with added salts the least of your worries :o
