I was under the impression a) the relationship between salt and hypertension is far from understood and b) the daily value is likely lower than is supported by evidence. As a home cook, things taste much better with salt, and they preserve better. Both are desired here in a packaged meal. Furthermore this allows introducing a low sodium variant for those looking for it.
