I think the government needs to do something about cigarettes and alcohol before they stsrt fooling with basic foodstuffs. IMHO, this kind of regulation is going to be exceptionally hard to pull off, especially if, as FDA officials concede, sales plummet because the food tastes like cardboard. Food must be tempting and taste good, or else it will not be eaten. Ask any six-year-old about spinach, and he'll tell you why he hates it.Also, many foods cannot be made without certain amounts of salt, because salt creates the chemical reactions that make these foods possible. Pizza, bagels, and most baked goods are examples of this. In any case, I don't see this proposed change happening. Like the alcohol and tobacco industries, the food manufacturers have their lobbyists, too. |
