As a conservative, I have really mixed emotions about this. I hate government intrusion.(I love salt). But in this case, if we are getting 30% of our salt intake from bread, something needs to be done. Was there this much discussion about the fat issue a couple years ago?

You can do something about it. You can make your own food from scratch with limited salt.

You might like some aspects of conservatism but you are not a conservative. I'd suggest not eating so much bread if is it's a concern. That's what a conservative does.

In answer to your question, right now only half of medical care is subsidized by the Government through Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP.

And we have this crap. After all, if government is paying for your healthcare, it is their right, indeed their elected duty to intervene and save taxpayer money. Why should thin taxpayers pay for the bariatric surgery, high blood pressure and diabetes meds for fellow citizens. What you eat is my business.

But in this case........

Do us all a favor and don't help government enslave us.

If you think that salt, bread, tobacco or pork and beans is unhealthy, don't ingest it.

Don't give enforcement to the guns of government.
