Bloomberg’s Movement to Reduce Salt Intake in NYC
From no smoking bans in bars and restaurants to getting rid of allowing trans fat in food and having to have calories posted on the menu boards in fast food places, Bloomberg is at it yet again to keep New Yorkers maintaining healthy lifestyles. He has started a campaign in “reducing salt in food” and has already committed 16 companies to his plan. The goal is to reduce the salt intake among Americans by 20% by the year 2014. Starbucks has already cut most of the salt out of their breakfast sandwiches.
Some speculate that this movement is having the government interfere with how we live our everyday lives. Does the government hold the right to dictate what goes into our mouths? Apparently it does when it comes to keeping Americans healthy, but will our precious foods and condiments ever taste the same? What do you think?
