I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE salt. No one’s gonna regulate my intake.
I could see this play out with food producers tapering off the levels of salt being added during production while selling retail salt (think cardboard cylinders with small mettle pour top) at a premium. Govt(s) impose a salt sin-tax as consumers sustain their individual salt equilibrium. Conclusion: new tax revenue for Govt(s) and new revenue stream for producers.
Thank you for this post (I’ve had your site on my blogroll for years, I think!)…
This recent piece, from another salty site, is also on this very same topic – and it contains some useful links.
If substantiated, this research study could have significant implications – in the practical, as well as public-policy, arenas.
Ahhh what are they going to do about things like potato chips that are inherently just salt-delivery devices? Methinks there will have to be some foods declared verboten…
rxc: That step doesn’t seem a particularly difficult one to take these days. Sadly.
First they came for the cigarettes…
