FDA plans to limit amount of salt allowed in processed foods for health reasons
Can you believe this crap? The administration of the noted totalitarian/usurper, Barack Obama, now wants to dictate how much salt can be in your food.Originally Posted by WA Post
Is there any miniscule part of your private life and liberty that is considered off-limits from assault by the fascist totalitarian neo-NAZI style regime of Barack Obama?
I think this just is one more piece of evidence that Obama considers the American people to be his personal property rather than his employers.

Well how did you think they were going to pay for health care deform?
Make anything that "might" be unhealthy illegal, and then sell indulgences. Kind of like cap and tax.

Want more salt?
First they came for the mimes, and I did not speak out, because I was a mime.

Next up, they'll be pushing a bill that requires everyone to take Beano twice a day to fight greenhouse emissions; then again, that might already be buried somewhere in the thousands of pages of the health care monstrosity they rammed down our throats.

Yes because there is no difference in taste between cooking something with salt and just pouring it on later. I tried baking a cake without flour once and just putting it on later, but it was just somehow not the same...Want more salt?
Vice President
I'm wondering if some citizens can be personally responsible enough not to resort to loonjob, hyperbolic Nazi references, or if there needs to be legislation for that.

Have you never heard of flourless cakes they are really yummy.

Using a wooden spoon, cream butter until light and fluffy, adding the sugar gradually. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate, ground almonds, rum or vanilla, bread crumbs and salt.

Can anyone on this forum really admit that they WANT the federal govt to tell you how much salt youre allowed to have in your food? Or that its ok for YOU to use govt to tell ME how much salt Im allowed to have in my food?
Secretary of State
No one that is a libertarian or a conservative can.
Now the liberals, on the other hand...
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Isaac H Tiffany (1819)

OK, if you want lots of salt in your food fine.
Maybe you don't want the Feds dictating how many insect parts are allowed in a loaf of bread, or how much arsenic or lead can be in your drinking water?
Because they do that too.
They used to just leave it up to the companies to police themselves, but that resulted in a lot of premature deaths.

Another bad idea from Obama.
Again, I ask where the federal government get the constitutional authority to do this?
I'm wondering if you can be personally responsible enough not to resort to off-topic, nothing to do with the subject at hand, shoot the messenger style posts.
Do you agree with what is being proposed by the government or not? Why or why not? Personal attacks on hairballxavier have nothing to do with that.
Unfortunately we conservatives and libertarians have to admit that one thing the liberals got right about human nature was the oh so common "I don't want to take responsibility for myself" attitude. Unfortunately, those of us that do actually take care of ourselves and want government to stay out of our business get dragged down with the rest of them.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, ... That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,"
-Declaration of Independence
Two truths that many Americans seem to have forgotten:
1. Men are endowed by God with inalienable rights.
2. Government's purpose is to secure man's God-given rights.

I am against this. I started a thread awhile back in the just for fun section called "What the hell have they done with my Frito's" complaining about how they don't taste like they used to. I don't think just sprinkling salt on them will make them taste like the old Frito's.
