The shaky science underlying New York's salt assault
New York City's "voluntary" salt reduction program, "even if it does not become legally mandatory," is "astonishingly presumptuous," writes Jacob Sullum on reason.com .
Because it requires the participation of restaurant chains and food manufacturers, it will, if successful, affect the diet of the entire country. Such a nationwide shift is not justified even by the standards of "public health" paternalism, since it could do more harm than good.
