Downing lots of salt tends to do many things to us – tighter feeling pants, rings, shoes, and worse. Now, NYC is planning something that may change things in a BIG way when it comes to people knowing the real dangers behind salt.
Via TakePart.com:
If only the health effects of eating too much sodium ended there. Thanks to sky-high rates of high blood pressure and heart disease, government officials in Gotham have declared war on salt-packed chain restaurant meals.
On Wednesday the New York City Board of Health voted to require warning labels on high-sodium menu items at chains with more than 15 locations nationwide. The labels will take the form of saltshakers, and they’ll be the first warning of its kind in the U.S.
Under the new requirement, which will go into effect on Dec. 1, places such as Subway, Olive Garden, T.G.I. Friday’s, and yes, that Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in the heart of Times Square will need to have a saltshaker symbol next to menu items with more than the FDA recommended daily intake of 2,300 mg of sodium, or about a teaspoon of salt.

I am active, live in a desert, and can literally see the salt in my clothes.
More than I would need does not taste good.
