Those are in the shirt pocket. Sometimes I hang the shirt on the 870 in the gunrack in the back window.

This, from a Freeper named SaltyJoe!

[anniegetyourgun]

Don't look now - you're about to be regulated!

[SeeRushToldU_So]

They are getting desperate.

Thank you for link!!!!!!!! I thought I had it bookmarked, but it seemed to have disappered on me.

Ever watch the movie Demolition Man? PC gone awry. Stallone's character asks for the salt and is told that salt is bad for you, hence illegal.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Fantastic these people are trying to make me sick. I have Hypotension that is treated with a high sodium diet.

[longshadow]

The government says Americans should try to keep sodium to about 2,300 milligrams a day. "This is about 1 teaspoon," ...

I eat that much straight, as a snack.

The food NAZI's need to go screw themselves; if they don't like the quantity of salt in processed foods, they don't have to eat it. They can all go suck on a celery stalk with their equally obnoxious authoritarian bretheren in PETA.

A consumer group sued ...

A "pay attention to me" group of busy bodies. I'm a consumer and these creeps do not represent me.

Please pass the salt.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!!

[longshadow]

Please pass the salt.

I'll have mine supersized, thank you.

In the interests of full disclosure, my BP is 110/80..... or at least it was, before I read this assinine article.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Chinese restaurant meals can be especially, high too. "A typical order of General Tso's chicken with rice has 3,150 mg," the group said.

I pity the fool who messes with my General Tso's Chicken!

[stands2reason]

What? You haven't heard? Chocolate is good for you now.

[aculeus]

In the interests of full disclosure, my BP is 110/80..... or at least it was, before I read this assinine article.

My last: 102/68. Personal best (Oct 2002): 90/50.

How do I do it? Eat salt. Nothing but salt.

[dervish]

If we could reduce the sodium in processed and restaurant foods by half, we could save about 150,000 lives per year," he said.

How could they possibly 'know' this?? Without salt food tastes like ****

[dervish]

My BP is 90/60 in the am. My doctor told me to eat more salt. I have to have it first thing in the am or I feel like I'm passing out. Familial. My dad is the same way.
