I am preparing a class action suit against all self proclaimed "consumer advocate" groups as frauds and a danger to my physical and psychological well being.
Anyone want to join me?

Can you say
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation?Following its anti-alcohol model, RWJF will fund programs and organizations calling for "sin" taxes on foods high in sugar, fat and sodium; warning labels on those foods; a print, radio, Internet, TV, and point-of-purchase "counter-advertising" campaign; and even zoning restrictions on the density of restaurant outlets and convenience stores.
The possibility of RWJF supporting the food-related programs of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), in addition to its alcohol program, must leave CSPI's let-them-eat-lettuce leader, Michael Jacobson, salivating.

And their anti-alcohol model is based on their anti-tobacco model.
If RWJF is involved in anything, it generally means it is bad for businesses and consumers and good for the bottom line of Johnson and Johnson and thus RWJF.

I probably consume enough salt per year to un-freeze the driveway. Can't get enough of it. My blood pressure is 106/58, pulse is 60.

Cancel this morning's APB for the Killer Diesel. Salt has confessed to the crime.

The government says Americans should try to keep sodium to about 2,300 milligrams a day. "This is about 1 teaspoon," the American Heart Association says.I am on a restricted sodium diet now and I do this. Trust me, food needs more salt.

Scary thing. I pegged the "group" as the food police Center for Science in the Public Interest just from the headline.

Tell the Center for Science in the Public Interest to go pound it.

"The federal government should require food manufacturers to gradually lower their sodium levels." Shut up, nannies. Are you going to prevent me from adding salt, too?
I love salty food, and I like to make it saltier. Granted, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last year, so now I take my blood pressure medicine with a glass of salted tomato juice in the morning. Blood pressure is now 109/70.
Pass the shaker.

The Food Nazis at CSPI now want to force us to eat bland food. Lordy, we don't they come out and say they want every one eating tofu? I tell y'all, if salt's outlawed in food, there'll be a huge demand for outlawed tasty food.

"What makes me sick are the people who think they have the right to regulate what I eat by government mandate. That raises my blood pressure way more than salt ever will."
Sane citizens have got to get a grip on this. . .it is going to get even worse; once cigarrettes are banned from the planet.
Then what are these blowhards going to do. . They need to be stopped now. . .or sanity will be our last sacrifice.
