What's perplexing to me is how big soda and junk food suppliers get away using so much sodium in their products to increase sales.

They "get away with it" because hundreds of millions of people continually buy their products.

For what it's worth, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is running a "education campaign" addressing exactly that: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2009/pr057-09.shtml

We also have one of the highest taxes on nicotine sales in the country, for similar reasons.

I say that government can experiment in social engineering, but only as long as they're completely transparent about what they're doing.

I say we have rights that supercede your say so.
