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?

Looks to me as though this decision dates back nearly five years...was the Bush Administration strong-arming Campbell's into offering lower sodium alternatives?

Campbell soups to be made with lower sodium sea salt

Makes no difference who is pushing the ball to take away personal freedom, Bush, Obama, or all of the above, I am adamantly opposed to it...but can you really tell me that you think things are just as well for us now as 5 years ago when it comes to personal freedoms and personal choices?
