First Thumbs Down!


Yikes, well I guess someone had to be first.

Much of my challenge in this diet is finding interesting and tasty recipes that contain little or no sodium. I have a couple of cookbooks that give extensive nutritional information which I will review at a later date, but many of my meals come from on-line searching. If I have some pork chops in the freezer I might search conduct a series of searches on Google that highlight that meat selection and maybe a spice or style of cooking.

Today I was searching for ideas when I came across the Betty Crocker site. I thought that I might have stumbled across a goldmine. Boy, was I wrong. Look at the picture below. Clicking through the recipes to narrow down the 'Low-Sodium' offerings in their 'Healthy Recipes' section gives me 10 choices. That's it, 10 recipes in total and only 4 of them can be considered a main course.

What a profound disappointment from the venerable Mrs. Crocker.

Of course, performing a manual search does yield different results, but that's not the point. Clicking through viable and obvious menu choices should not limit my results to 10 items. Bad user experience.
