A few months ago, the Bloomberg Administration in New York City unrolled a campaign aimed at working with food manufacturers to voluntarily add less salt . The FDA’s current anti-salt initiative takes the Bloomberg plan to the extreme by employing the force of law to achieve the same end. Neither Mayor Bloomberg’s softball approach nor the FDA’s hardball approach will work and the nation-wide plan will be exponentially more costly than the Bloomberg plan. It would be yet another colossal waste of taxpayer funds.
