Currently, the average sodium intake of Americans is approximately 3400 milligrams per day. One of the Nutrition and Healthy Eating objectives of Healthy People 2030 is to reduce consumption of sodium by people 2 years of age and older by 20%, down to around 2700 milligrams per day. Such a reduction would be an improvement, but this goal still exceeds the recommended limit of 2300 milligrams per day, set by the Food and Nutrition Board. One ham, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant has 1380 milligrams of sodium in a serving. If Harrison aims to lower his daily sodium intake to meet the objectives of Healthy People 2030, should he make a habit of eating the ham, egg, and cheese bagel several times per week?
