The President of the "Salt Institute" sits down with Stephen Colbert, and Michael Jacobson (Center for Science in the Public Interest) to discuss the government's warnings on salt consumption. Quite amusing introduction to the topic as well.
"Obama's after our taste buds." "The Feds wanna destroy the flavor of my 'Fatty Salty Crispies" and my "Crispy Salty Fatties." (some of Colbert's initial rant!).
Runs around 7 minutes. Enjoy!
From Jacobson's recent column about salt in our food:
"Limiting salt in packaged and restaurant foods is perhaps the single most important dietary improvement that the Food and Drug Administration could bring about. Cutting sodium levels in packaged and restaurant foods in half is predicted to save 100,000 lives and tens of billions of dollars in health-care expenses each year."
