Americans trying to cut sodium from their diets may be surprised to learn that bread, not chips or pretzels, is a leading culprit .
A new report from the Center for Disease Control found that bread and rolls are the top source of sodium in America’s diet, more than double the percentage of savory snacks.
“Breads and rolls aren’t really saltier than many of the other foods, but people tend to eat a lot of them,” said Mary Cogswell, a CDC senior scientist who co-authored the report.
The John Doe custom was born out of a strange and long since vanished British legal process called an action of ejectment. Under old English common law, the actions landowners could take against squatters or defaulting tenants in court were often too technical and difficult to be of any use. So landlords would instead bring an action of ejectment on behalf of a fictitious tenant against another fictitious person who had allegedly evicted or ousted him.
In order to figure out what rights to the property the made-up persons had, the courts first had to establish that the landlord really was the owner of the property, which settled his real reason for action without him having to jump through too many legal hoops.
