The warm pot of water just warmed a little more. Soon it'll be boiling and some people will be shocked. The folks of NY have had so many of these little things put on them recently that I don't know how anyone can either afford to live there, or stand the stench of the communist incroachment.

What right does any government have to decide for people what they fucking eat? Crazy

Crying about salt reduction (a healthy thing) and not a peep about the untold numbers of secret chemicals that are additives in your food and children's toys. Mind boggling.

maybe you don't get it. we're all here pissing and moaning about a government that has decided we can't put a little weed in our bodies and here they are, regulating even more substances we can ingest and determining the allowable level of danger we can expose ourselves to. this is the same nanny state mentality that has brought us every prohibition ever conceived of and another step toward the totalitarian's dream. instead of moving toward a future where each man is free to determine his own destiny, we are traveling in the opposite direction. each step we take toward that orwellian nightmare makes it harder to reverse the trend.

My exact point. They are putting things in food that they have no right to put in without the people actually knowing what it is they are eating. Salt has always been a part of food preservation, but not secret chemicals. And, frankly, the government can't make me do a damn thing I don't want to do. It can only imprison or fine me to death, and that only after I do something to give them a reason. Its a double edged sword and right now its cutting the wrong way. And I've suffered from the marijuana war and I still haven't surrendered longer then some here have been alive.
