Salt, among the ingredients in the average burger is the most likely to cause you problems. Calling it bikeshedding is a massive stretch. In a talk of the importance of the contents of your diet related only to burgers, salt is the exact opposite of bikeshedding.

Nothing whatsoever is stopping Beyond from removing salt and allowing people to salt their own burgers, as they already do.

The contribution of salt in hypertension and other issues is overblown in popular media.

I'm on blood pressure meds. I regularly check in with doctors on things. No, you shouldn't be eating unlimited salt, but sugar and cholesterol are killing (and debilitating) many more of us.
