Government To Take Away Another Freedom
I read this in the Joplin Globe today. Just the one among many things that big brother will be forcing down our throats because we're all too stupid to take care of ourselves.
Have you heard this one? Big Brother is at it again.
The FDA is going to make it illegal for foods to have more than a certain amount of salt - for our own good. They haven't determined the amount yet, but they are intent on doing so.
Two questions? (1) Why is this not a Congressional responsibilty? and (2) why does it need to be done at all?
There already are raw fruits and vegtables that many people eat - with no sodium in them. There already are low sodium soups, crackers, and juices. Avoiding processed foods would eliminate a large portion of the sodium intake.
The FDA says it's going to have to retrain the American palate to enjoy the taste of less salt. Phooey! I like my salt.
I say it's foolish and a huge expense for nothing - not to mention another strike at our freedoms - but go ahead and reduce the salt. Just be prepared to add salt to everything you eat. Salt is there for a reason. It is an essential spice.
