" start some activism."
Let us start with some FR rules first.
Rule 1: please don't post your vanities as news items even if you think they are really important.
How about if I take over this vanity with one of my own (I don't know who West is anyway).
Is it my imagination or are snack food companies reducing the salt on my favorite salty snacks? I bought some Sunshine cheese crackers - the regular kind - and they were so unsalty, the tasted like little cardboard chips! Same with some pretzels I had recently. There is a noticable reduction in the salt content of salty snacks. This is an outrage.
My blood pressure is 90/60. I could eat a salt lick every day and it wouldn't make a difference.
I'm going to write a letter to the Snack Food Lobby (no kidding - I've seen their office on King St in Alexandria, VA) and complain!
