Chipotle is one example. Its all veggie then "Pick your protein". Suspect this is the first step to normalizing fake soy based "meat".

There's no real good evidence that sodium is bad for health if you have healthy kidneys. South Koreans eat twice the sodium on average as Americans and have less heart disease. Before refrigeration Europeans ate at least ten times the sodium as modern Americans and didn't have heart disease. Your kidneys will remove exactly as much sodium as necessary depending on amount of sodium in your diet.
Taking a potassium supplement spares the kidneys the effort of reclaiming potassium from urine.
I switched to "Lite Salt" for this reason. it is a mixture of 50/50 KCl and NaCl. You can even get pure KCl. It is sold as "Salt Substitute". Morton makes some.
Not to say that Sodium Chloride is particularly bad, if your kidneys are fine, but there are benefits to adding more potassium to your diet.
