Pssst... wanna buy some salt?

[imskylark]

I don’t mind them decreasing salt if that is what their customers want and not what the government demands.

Eating salt. Another nanny state “sin”. Hey America! How’s that hope and change workin’ for ya?

As long as they don’t cut the cheese in my food I’m OK.

Didn’t we go through this crap at some point in the 2nd half of last century?

History sure is repeating itself quickly these days.

Short salt farming stocks!

[Spudx7]

Right. I’m sure that people who eat bologna and Easy Mac are deeply concerned about their health, so this makes perfect sense.

Why are these big bad powerful corporations always caving in to the left? Affirmative action, eco-green, gun control, global warming, food nazis, etc.

My wife recently had major heart surgery. As a result she is on a low salt or no salt diet. It is amazing the amount of salt in processed food. The dietitian at the hospital said 75% of are salt is obtained from processed foods. Just look at the labels, you will be amazed. Just cutting out processed foods will decrease your intake of salt dramatically.

Looks like all the posters on this thread want someone else to monitor and control their dietary intake. If salt is so bad, and Kraft is trying to poison you with sodium, then why are you buying Kraft products?

Here comes the Nanny State!

Refined Salt: White Poison
Fish from the ocean will die quickly if placed in a solution of refined salt (table salt) and water.
The sodium chloride, in its form as it comes from the refinery, is actually poisonous to them.
Bottom line, is that yes it can be harmful to consume too much refined salt, but you can consume natural unrefined salt with very few problems if..any at all.”

The problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat - refined!
Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. Then they take all the minerals out and resale..
What you end up with is trash...table salt..good for nothing..
The facts are that in the heating process of salt, the element sodium chloride goes off into the air as a gas. What remains is sodium hydroxate ( table salt ) which is irritating to the system and does not satisfy the body's hunger and need for sodium chloride

Hell, the human body doesn't even know what it is or what to do with it.. The big companys have got to get rid of it somewhere or...to someone. I wouldn't feed that junk to an animal.

Without salt, humans couldn’t float.

[DoughtyOne]

Humans need salt in their daily diet. This is getting ridiculous.

[abovethefray]

Americans have sure gotten sissyfied lately. So, less evil salt in our food and we can live forever. Thank God our betters know what is good for us.

[LomanBill]

Sodium isn’t salt, NaCl is.

I would love for them to come out with low salt foods as an alternative that we could choose for ourselves. I look for low salt when I buy groceries simply because the amount of sodium in foods is shocking.

If Kraft is doing this because they want to, and the taste remains good, then good for them.
