Comments on: Healthy Living: Government Control of Salt Intake Part 1 http://www.conservativeissues.org/government-control-of-salt-intake.html Discussion on Top U.S. Political Issues Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:01:50 +0000 hourly 1 By: Laura http://www.conservativeissues.org/government-control-of-salt-intake.html/comment-page-1#comment-173 Laura Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:46:47 +0000 http://www.conservativeissues.org/?p=289#comment-173 Your blog doesn't even begin to touch on many aspects of the governments decision here. It's ridiculous how much salt is going into our bodies. If you actually started paying attention to what you were eating, you would realize that it is a HUGE problem, and it's important to cut back the amount of salt that the majority of americans take in. I have been buying salt-free products for years now, and I'm a healthy 27yo with a med degree on the way. Yes, sodium is needed, but not how we are getting it! There is salt in EVERYTHING! With the preservation abilities we have, it can no longer be a valid excuse. It's used to make cheap food that we shouldn't be eating in the first place tasty. Period. This is one of the few things I agree with the government on...we'll all be a lot healthier! I could go on about organics, but it's the wrong audience. Enjoy your salt.
