As may be and probably so.
But what does this have to do with Campbell's soup?
How do we know they didn't just get a helluva deal on twenty container loads of sea salt?
Just because salt is something the government wants to regulate does not mean it is doing so in this case.
Have you not witnessed the Government strong arming corporations to accede to their perceived wishes, one of which is lowered salt intake ostensibly to improve health and lower medical costs, especially for those on Medicare? Campbell just saw the PC handwriting on the wall and tried to get ahead of the curve. Think they thought that their lower salt products would be as tasty as before? The issue remains one of Government interference in what, up until now, has been our personal choice...just extend what you have seen the last 2 years into every facet of our living. Maybe you are comfortable with it, but I am not.
Might as well give it up humblegunner. It’s all a government conspiracy don’t cha know? Once they hijack a topic it’s a lot cause. LOL If people don’t like the ingredients in processed food they don’t have to buy it.
You and I can keep enjoying our sea salt. BTW, mine has iodine and is still GOOD! My doctor eats it; says it’s better for you, so since I like it better I plan to stick with it.
I agree with you that it’s probably nothing but a recipe change that the company made without any interference from the government.
