Okay, poor people qualify for the SNAP program (food stamps). A family of 4 with head of household making ~20K (10/hours) can receive ~$600/month. This argument really should just reflect overall health consequences for using any ingredient that either preserves food longer or enhances taste (or both).

Next regulation to debate:

Pepper.

Why would it?

a.) Makes people sneeze. This could lead to higher healthcare costs.
b.) Often used in controlling unwanted animals. The abuse must stop.




Why won't it?

a.) It's black. Only white seasonings need to be taxes and restricted.
b.) Red is a favorite color of Communists.

I didn't say it was hard to do, but it can be a good amount of work depending on the size when it comes to weeding and watering. And it helps to have some basic knowledge of what you're growing as well.

I remember back in high school one of my history teachers explaining to our class that most older Russian women have cankles because of the high salt content in the Soviet-era diet. I still laugh about that one.

FYI if you are for this regulation you are probably a anti-Semite as many Kosher foods contain high amounts of sodium.

Big Brother and the Salt Fix

"It is also would seem that limiting salt in processed foods could violate ethnic and perhaps religious injunctions. Kosher food, for example, often contains significant amounts of sodium. The preparation of that food for marketing requires the supervision of appropriate rabbinical authorities. Are these now going to be governed by federal regulators instead? "

Some of you guys are despicable.........

You have no idea WTF you're talking about. Kosher salt is the best kind of salt you can eat and it cost more because it has no additives. The kind of "salt" you get in processed food is sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate which are notoriously bad for you.

Does the new regulation apply to salt licks?

I think tonight in keeping with this thread I'm going to eat a 16oz ribeye, bake potato with all the fixings, green beans cooked with some ham, good bread and pound it down with soda. I love salt on my steak and bake potato. I will finish it off with a loud FU Obama burp.
