Feds Out Of Control Rampage Continues!…Plan To Regulate Salt In Our Diet

How much salt is too much in a daily diet? We’re going to find out. The Food and Drug Administration plans to determine what constitutes excess and eventually impose the first legal limits on the amount of salt in U.S. foods.

It’s not going to happen overnight. The FDA intends to consult with the food industry and health experts, and analyze salt in sauces, bread and other products over a period of years before deciding on legal limits, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. Excessive salt has been blamed for early deaths from heart disease and hypertension.

B.S. Report–By what authority does the national government have the right to regulate our salt intake? Show me that passage in the Constitution without bending beyond recognition the commerce or general welfare clauses. Of course, they don’t have the right but they just can’t keep themselves from butting into our lives in every possible arena.

Our government will stick their fingers in any pie if it means giving them more control over us. However, what they absolutely refuse to do is fulfill their actual duties as dictated to them under the Constitution.

The most important mandate of any President is to secure the country from those that will do us harm and keep the citizens safe here at home. Unfortunately, this is a very low priority on the Obama agenda. On the other hand, salt is just too dangerous for us to use without the government getting involved.
