   I continue to be confused by your statements on this...  Do you realize    
   that food does not have to be "packaged"?  By that I mean things in    
   cans, cardboard, plastic.  ALL packaged food is VERY high in sodium.     
   Generally, *FRESH* food has VERY LITTLE sodium and is MUCH healthier for    
   you to eat.  I think we've already told you all this...  Stuff like    
   potatoes, fresh vegetables, fruits.  Do you not ever buy stuff like    
   that?  Why on earth would you "never" use your stove to cook something?     
   I just can't seem to grasp such a concept.

   It certainly is not.  With all your health problems, that would likely    
   be a very bad thing to do.  Are you eligible for some kind of assistance    
   program from your local community, or state program?  "Food stamps" or    
   whatever we call it these days?  Have you looked in to that?   
      
   Honestly, Daryl, all your problems seem to be somewhat "self-induced".     
   Eating only processed foods that you "cook" in the microwave is LIKELY    
   one of the root causes of many of your health problems.  Do you want to    
   fix that, or just continue on as you are?
