you know what my problem with it is. forced regulation.
heck, i don’t particularly like salt personally.. but i’ll fight for everyone else’s right to have as much of it as they want :)
I have no problem with it either,
I see it as a food safety issue.
IOW, if you buy a can of beans, you expect them NOT to make you sick. They don’t have botulism or salmonella, no bug or rat parts.
Salt is an additive to foods, usually as a preservative or as a flavor enhancer. Again, no issue with that.
The issue is when the amount used becomes excessive in some food items when the need for perservation is moot.
You could argue the same for sodium’s sister electrolyte potassium, food processors should be able to put as much as they want in a food item.
But excess potassium is pretty deadly pretty quick. Excess sodium can be deadly for some much slower.
So again, I’m viewing this as an excessive unneccessary electrolyte being added to food that can harm some individuals health.
Food safety, that’s all.
