Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you like Salt in your food, I hope not.

ive watched my wife put away massive amounts of salt and her blood pressure runs really low.....

Foxnews has a poll on whether the government should regulate our food. 94% are saying no at this point.

FOOD POLL

I hear ya. I just have a big problem with the morons in "government" deciding how much and in what we can have salt. This should be solved in the marketplace and not in the halls of Congress.

Weren't salt taxes the straw that broke England's back in India? Wasn't that what got Gandhi going, till the Brits were forced to give India it's independence? Seems like that's the case, IIRC.

With unemployment thru the roof, foreclosures at never before levels, invasions of our borders, mostly the Southern one. The Gomerment taking over companies and on and on with some real problems and the freakin' goobermint wants to control our salt levels. It is probably a Mrs. Obama mandate to the #2 man in the household.

Well, guys, the gov't has no business telling us what we can eat, but I hope somebody does tell foodsellers how much they can put in. My wife is fighting Meniere's, and low sodium is the first weapon. Not "salt" so much as "sodium this-n-that" preservatives. It can be tough when you can't chance dinner out, or almost any convenience-packaged foodstuffs. They charge enough for the stuff, it at least could be reduced in chemical content and not just be tasty junk. Her max intake is about half the norm, and it's hard to come close using any prepared products, at all.

Why would anyone eat packaged lunch meat when they can eat Spam?
I love Spam sandwiches about once a month.

Now that they pass Obamacare I think we will see alot more of this stuff. The government will come out and say that they now have an invested interest in our health.

I thought the idea behind Obama care was to help us oldsters die earlier and not use the system.
It makes me reflect on New Yorks "smoking campaign" they have all these aids to help you quit etc, etc. What a bunch of lying bstards. I truly wish every resident of NY quit smoking at the same time. New York would go nutz without the billions of tax dollars they get on cigarettes.They would be running around frantically looking for some other "sin" thing to tax. Just typical gomerment lip service.

Personally, I think process food has too much salt in for me. But I do not like the government telling manufators how much salt to use. I think that should be up to what the consumers buy.

This is typical the government is trying to get rid of their competition. They now want to be the only source of hypertension.

How is that these libtards think that it is your body to do with as you will when it comes to abortion but, their business when it comes to spicing up your food? Seems to me if they were truly so danged concerned with what goes in our bodies we might never need all them abortions.They can't even win a battle in the war on drugs and now they are going to wage war on saline. Well I'm off to see my connection for some more Lays classic potato chips.

The fricken liberal bastages better keep their fricken hands off of my roasted and salted peanuts, sunflower seed, and pumpkin seeds.

A working man SWEATS. Electrolytes need to be replaced.

But Bammy and the rest of those idiots would have to look "sweat" up in the dictionary.
