I haven’t used salt for years and I’m very conscious of the amount of salt in prepared foods. HOWEVER this is my preference and the government needs to stay out of this! Once they determined where I could and could not smoke, this is the next control! Is this a free country?

When they remove salt shakers from law abiding businesses only criminals will have salt shakers....

I bet once “health care” gets passed salt will disappear from the US.

Gee I wonder if we will have to put up with the salt nazi’s. You know the example was set by the smoking nazi’s. Not sure how they will connect my salt usage with second hand salt however.

That will depend upon which political party the salt producers contribute campaign funds to. The affirmative action fraud-in-chief’s administration closed more than 700 Chrysler dealerships who didn’t contribute mostly to Democrats and favored republican candidates ... and 2 ‘democrat mostly’ contributors.

From time to time I do the food shopping. If memory serves Campbells brought out no-salt soups years ago (blue and white instead of red and white label) only to find no one would buy them. Apparently the problem is that unsalted soup has a tendency to taste like dishwater.
I bought a can of soup the other day that says 25% less salt on the label. Obviously if there is a demand for low-salt products, the market will take care of it, no busybodies required.

Oddly enough, this doesn't bother me all that much.
New York City ceased being part of America a long time ago.

I heard an interesting report on the news this morning. Apparently many canned food producers introduced "low sodium" products years ago, only to find that they were very poorly received. Some of them gradually reduced the sodium content in their standard products over the course of several years -- so that now these standard products have no more sodium than the "low sodium" products that failed before. And yet the sales of these standard products haven't changed!

If they want to save salt they can quit spreading it on roads!

You're right..., its much better to have them spread sand and gravel onto the road surface so that we get dents, dings, chips it paint and chrome, and have to replace our windshelds each year. Yep, salt is really terrible....
