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.

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.

[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!

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 ****

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.

the Center for Science in the Public Interest

These are the tinfoil-hat wacko's who campaigned against eating Mexican food and theater popcorn. One day their members are going to wake-up in a hospital and realize that they are dying -- OF NOTHING!

[tubebender]

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

As Emeril would say...BAM!!!

[JoeGar]

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.

[BulletBobCo]

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

[Dog Gone]

"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.

[goldstategop]

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.

Just how are these consumer groups funded?

Would like the plug pulled on all of these mind-numbing crusaders afflilcted with 'liberalmind' convictions.

[cyborg]

caffeine?

[Pablo64]

I see that the Food Nazi's are at it again.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the recommended daily allowance for sodium was a completely made up number. Just an arbitrary figure since no one could say for sure how much or how little sodium may or may not alledgedly cause high blood pressure.

[Libertina]

Don't tell this to Frederico Cruz, Director of "Health" here in Pierce County - or we'll be in real trouble. He's already jumped on the bandwagon to outlaw smoking and fat people, pushes flouride on us and now will be on an anti-salt kick. SHHHHHH!

[Just Lori]

Nanny! Nanny! Can I get that double bacon cheeseburger without SALT?
