Founding Father's Dream Come True

Here it is people. Your governement at work. Finally, they are concentrating on the important things. Because you are too ignorant to take care of yourself, they are going to ensure that you don't have too much salt.

Imagine what they will be dictating to us when "they" are paying for everyone's health care. Nanny state doesn't even begin to explain it.

"Mayor Bloomberg Declares War On ... Salt
Hizzoner Calls On U.S. Manufacturers To Reduce Salt Content Until It Results In A 50 Percent Cut In 10 Years"

"City officials said that people don't realize the salt content of the things they buy in the supermarket. For example, potato chips you would think are the saltiest thing in the store but they have only 180 milligrams per serving. Turkey meatballs, on the other hand, have 660 milligrams per serving. Marble cake has 300 per serving and chicken noodle soup has nearly 1,400 milligrams of salt per serving."

"The city's plan is to get food manufacturers in the United States to agree to gradually start reducing salt content until it reaches a 50 percent cut in 10 years."
