For the ultimate in health, it may be useful to not buy anything that has a label on it. I used to watch both fat and sodium very carefully back in the days before the new labels when it was much harder to do so. The first thing I learned was that there wasn't anything I could eat on the inside aisles of any store. I found I shopped around the edges--the produce, meat, fish, and dairy departments are always around the edges. If it came in a box or a can, I probably couldn't eat it. That's pretty much the same idea that you expressed, just a different way of gauging it. Fortunately, there is much more available now that comes in boxes, although still rarely in cans. And quite a bit that's frozen. We're all still better off, though, shopping around the edges.
