Imigration in America

So, I consider that proposal a consumer protection issue. After all, as Jester pointed out, there is nothing stopping a person from adding all the salt they desire. However, I'd be satisfied with only regulating the 'low salt' products.

It would be fine to better 'define' what can be advertised as 'low' and sodium free. Too often, the big bold letters on packaging claiming 'reduced' fat or salt are meaningless. I think the market should ultimately decide what the products contain, and if the market share of 'low' and 'free' users is large enough, then products will be made for them. But, many people (as evidenced by their unhealthiness) do not care what is in their food.

I too am an avid label reader, seeking truly 'low' sodium/fats and 'free' where the taste is not appalling. We even cycle through multiple grocery stores in a month just to buy certain products carried by each, but not by the other.
