Or they could do it this way. How about let people be responsible for their own health, educating themselves on what is good for them or not good for them, and then deciding accordingly? I like salt. I don’t have an issue with high blood pressure, but I am at the age when that could start becoming a problem, so I have tended to use less salt. Like most of us, I can read, and I read the nutritional information on the packages. I am often astounded by how much salt is in some products. I don’t buy or consume those products. Simple. Those who follow that route might contribute to the improvement of their own health and reduce the disease and mortality rates, and those who don’t — well, they’ve helped to thin the herd.
Not to mention reducing social security outlays!
