Just like Clinton wanting to ban running because it releases endorphins in your brain to give you a high. A runners high.
Now that Obama has pretty much shut down oil drilling and the coal mines he is moving on to shutting down the salt mines.
People will be selling salt on the black market like heroin and cocaine.
I am a 69 year old salt-a-holic. I am in very good health, and my average BP is 117/75.
Sorry, O. You’ll have to take my salt out of my cold, dead hands......like some other things I own.........
I’ve been a salt addict (a small saltlick a day) for years and never had a problem but the wife got me to cut back. After six months of cutting back my doctor mentioned that some of my electrolytes were a bit low and instructed me to increase my salt intake. The wife couldn’t believe it and has never mentioned salt intake again.
Screw the Nazi bastards.
‘Somewhere I remember when you lose your saltiness you lose your ability to be useful....’
Bible. I defy anyone to eat tomatoes, cantaloupe, or watermelon without salt. This could lose The Big Zero his base. Read somewhere that the word salary comes from salt, the Roman soldiers were paid in salt, hence the phrase, not worth his salt. Or I may have made this up.
I’ll stop eating salt when I again afford to buy real food.
Decades ago they, whoever "they" are, told us that the original artificial sweetener saccharin (sp?) was practically poisonous and should never be consumed by human beings. However, now most, if not all, artificial sweeteners EXCEPT saccharin have supposedly been shone to be deleterious to our health those are the only ones that I ever see listed as ingredients on any sugar free food item on the supermarket shelves.
All of which begs the question, do any of these self-appointed guardians of our health have an everlovin clue as to what is OK for us to consume and what isn't? Until I find an answer to that question I intend to buy and consume only sugar free foods that contain saccharin as the sweetener.
Actually, since a recent and hopefully successful cancer operation I don't try very hard to avoid sugar in my food and drink. Losing a few pounds for the purpose of acquiring the dubious health benefits that advocates of a sugar-free diet promise isn't worth the trouble of making the effort required for a lot of research to determine which food additives are OK and which aren't at a time when I have far more important health care related decisions to make.
That is probably true for most Americans. I just don’t like salt. Never have. Probably never will. A bit of butter with salt on an ear of corn is okay. Nothing more.
Pink Himalayan salt, bought in bulk (for "bathing" doncha know)
I do eat watermelon without salt. Tomatoes only the little orange ones, when just picked out of the garden and still warm from the sun.
I love salt but for some reason on watermelon it just isn't appealing.
You know a cheap, simple, and to the point protest would be ten truckloads of salt dumped in front of the WH.
Gandhi had a connection to salt.
I forgot cucumbers, you get more than enough salt from processed foods anyway. I rarely eat anything with salt added. Look on the labels at the amount of salt in processed food and there is a ton of it. It is even in sweetened cereals. On the four foods I mentioned I must have salt. The WH puts out these ridiculous ideas merely to keep us looking at the right hand while the left(root of the word, sinister), does something much worst. Distraction, sleight of hand.
Please, sir, may I still drink water?
Go pound salt, O’Bastards.
You must be getting ahold of some good watermelons, the ones in this area need salt. The tomatoes must be heirloom, thinner skinned and sweeter. Course anything you grow yourself are always better.
Yet the Obama administration demands we swallow so much bullshitit!
I was hospitalized for syncope (causes random blackouts
when standing due to sudden blood pressure drops)... among other things
my body was
losing salt. The politically correct hospital dietitian placed me on a salt-free diet until my cardiologist finally got their attention. In reality excess salt is fairly easy for the body to get rid on.
Watermelon time is not until July around here but my southern relatives were kind enough to bring me some from their gardens to tide me over.
So sweet and juicy.
I think I will go have another quarter.
My neighbor in Des Plaines had a sewer line rupture behind his house. The following spring you could trace the line by the huge tomato plants that grew in over it. He told me that tomato seeds are still quite viable after passing thru the human digestive system.
