The majority of processed food in the US is totally overloaded with salt, MSG, sugar and high fructose corn syrup. The food companies do it to make their products cheap and addictive. They're not interested in selling people healthy nutritious food, they're interested in making fat profits (and fat people).
If this is the kind of food you like to eat then the Govt is actually going to be doing you a favour by forcing food manufacturers to cut the salt content.
After all there's nothing to stop people dousing their processed dinner with extra salt at the table if they "think" they need it.
It's too bad we can't go back to the 1800's, way before any regulation in food. Then people can put anything in your food (back then they didn't even have to tell you). At least all that crap in people's food would solve over population.
The Food and Drug Administration is planning an unprecedented effort to gradually reduce the salt consumed each day by Americans, saying that less sodium in everything from soup to nuts would prevent thousands of deaths from hypertension and heart disease. The initiative, to be launched this year, would eventually lead to the first legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products.

Another example of gov we know whats best for you. You make your own choices pfft you arent smart enough
Wake up people seriously
I'm getting tired of the freaking govt thinking they can order people to eat a certain way. People should be able to eat anything they want to(even if the "experts" think it's unhealthy)anytime they want to!

Gosh I guess we have forgotten the Republican push to subsidize corn and practically force companies to start using HFCS!
Yeah, so limiting salt is Big Brother. LOL. They limit other chemicals in our food and have for decades. Salt is a chemical and any chemical in excess is POISON.

Choice and freedom is quickly flying out the window. Next it will be something else that someone finds harmful to us.

Who is making excuses for republicans? There is many things in this world that done in excess can be very harmful to yo. Shall we do away with all of those things also? Guess we cant let you make a choice about things yourself. I think we should do away with cars also and planes and trains. We can walk where ever we want to go. Wait that might hurt someones feet or cause them to brake an ankle or leg. Guess we all better just sit here and hope nothing harmful happens to us
The option to consume all the salt a person could ever want is still available. You're just going to have to take the initiative and add the salt yourself. The choice to have as much or as little salt as wanted can be up to the consumer! Personal freedom triumphs!
