Mayor Bloomberg's latest health campaign -- cutting salt intake -- has targeted soup as one of the big sodium offenders to be taken down with new city ads.
The ads, which will be plastered on subways for the next two months, feature a half-opened can of soup with a geyser of salt spewing from the top and forming a heap around the can.

NYC deserves him.
He needs to move on and put his considerable talents to work at something productive. This guy is the nanny state defined.
I salt my food liberally. And I’ll be damned if the Food Nazis in this country try to limit sodium intake for my own good.
Nothing wrong with salt. You’d be dead with too little. Try living in a hot climate and exerting yourself outdoors for even a few hours without it. People who regularly do so take ... salt tablets.
The problem isn’t salt, it’s sitting on our butts and not sweating. Salt is a preservative. It’s antimicrobial. It’s a good thing.
Can there be too much of a good thing? Sure, but the fools have gotten the cart before the horse yet again.
So, uh, people are talking about the potential for hyperinflation, 17% unemployment, the killing of millions of babies, 2 wars, terrorism, a nuclear Iran . . . and Bloomberg is talking about salt in soup.
What a freak.
Odd how science ‘consensus’ changes over time...
When I was a kid, we were encouraged to ‘eat salt tablets for our health’
whenever we participated in sports activities or worked in hot conditions.
NYC is a prison; what a sh!thole. They are very bothered by an emerging trend in which an increasing number of young people in NJ have never been to NYC, and never will.
As a Marine recruit at Parris Island we were required (told) to take salt tablets at least once on a daily basis. This was during the warmer weather in the summer months during the 1960's. Later in Division @ Camp Lejeune, NC as well.
This man shows how truly insane some the world is.
Why is it the very rich and the intelligencia that want to be our nanny’s?
Campbells is not going to like this!
The idiot Bloomberg doesn’t understand the preservative properties of salt in canned soup. There is salt in every single canned item of food. That’s how it can sit on a shelf for a long time - and therefore feed people who have no money or access to fresh fruit and veggies.
When I was a kid we had the Miss Subway campaigns while riding to work. Now we have Bloomberg’s endless political campaign. GO AWAY!
This was an idiotic diversion from the fact that Klein is leaving the Board of Education to be replaced with a moronic woman with no experience of any kind in education.
In order for her to accept this position she will require a waiver.
Perhaps Bloomers has found his own idiot who can’t read and probably doesn’t have a passport.
It’s interesting what you say about Jerseyites never visiting NYC. That’s been true as long as I’ve lived in NY and also maintained roots in NJ (40 years!) I was always amazed at people who lived so close to a city that - after all - DOES have much to recommend it in terms of art, theatre, opera, ballet, baseball, restaurants, etc. - and yet never took a short train trip to Penn Station. It’s probably just gotten worse under Nanny Bloomberg.
And a note to the Nanny Mayor: Just went to the new food emporium “Eataly” and was shocked, shocked at the vast amounts of different preserved meats and sausages, cheese, bottled sauces that just screamed SALT! But I guess since only rich people shop there it’s OK.
I live in Illinois (170 miles south of Chicago) and have been to Chicago twice in my 65 year old life.
Once was enough, can't remember why I went back the second time.
Cities are liberal cesspools, high crime rates, terrible traffic. Who needs it? Though I suppose some "need it" or they wouldn't exist.
You're a mean one . . . .
AHA! Separated at birth!
I love salt, and eat a lot of it. I also drink a lot of water. Five or so years ago, I was hospitalized because of low sodium. (I thought I had the flu). I requested to go home, and the doc said, "Go ahead if you want to die." I stayed. Sweat and drinking lots of water washes salt from your body, so if you carry a bottle of water around with you, like I do, have some salt with it.
Once again, Mikey displays his stupidity for all to see.
