Pickles are lower in calories, but ...
Pickles are made from cucumbers which are mostly water. That's why their calorie count is so low. Pickling is a means to preserve cucumbers for a lengthy period of time, but unfortunately the preservative of choice is either is salt or sugar/vinegar combo. Most pickles are very high in sodium. A "bread & butter" pickle has lower sodium, but lots of added sugar. Bottom line: A pickle is not a good veggie snack - it's a condiment and should be consumed as a condiment.

Calcium chloride and waste reduction...
Calcium chloride is thought of as OK for your health, though some advise that it could cause slight stomach irritation. When used as an additive in products like jellies or cheeses, it causes the food to firm up. When used in tomato-based products it prevents disintegration. It also adds a tiny bit of saltiness without adding sodium. This additive is a by-product of The Solvay process. In this process, carbon dioxide is mixed with table salt and ammonia to create soda ash (or potash) and other products, like baking soda. One of the problems is that this process produces waste - a lot of waste. As a result of this and other technological advances, the last Solvay plant in the US closed in 1986. But the process continues in other parts of the world. While more and more calcium chloride is removed from the waste in settling ponds or dumped directly into the sea, the issue of what to do with this by-product is still relevant. By using calcium chloride as a food additive, manufacturers are actually reducing the amount of waste that is put back into the environment. Whether this is a "reuse" effort you want to be a part of is up to you . . .
