Otherwise they would grasp that one persons opinion is just that. If people want to hide, that is their perogative. I wont lose sleep over it. I was merely stating my opinion. Keep up the great work Bill. However, I will reserve opinion in future. I am not interested in dialoguing with immature people in the comment section.

It is not realistic to think that someone who is frail or has substandard cooking facilities can cook from scratch. In addition, foods cooked from scratch require electricity, gas etc which adds an extra cost to a restricted budget. <br /><br />Whatever one thinks of Walmart, their house brand is lower in sodium than their competitors. Not so long ago, Walmart announced that it was their intention to offer sodium-reduced food.<br /><br />I hope food banks offer clients who are sodium sensitive special hampers. <br /><br />On a final note, I wonder if BC hospitals are developing a policy with respect to sodium? Our hospital for one, did not offer sodium reduced food. As someone who routinely reached for the salt shaker, even I could barely get down the sodium packed meals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-52799887062131785852011-12-06T19:40:29.617-08:002011-12-06T19:40:29.617-08:00I expect Harper and his clowns receive donations f...I expect Harper and his clowns receive donations from the fast food and processed food industry. Of course he isn't going to deal with the "salt issue". <br /><br />I personally avoid processed foods but millions of people can't or won't. Children eat what their parents serve them. <br /><br />If people are dying as the result of too much salt and our government refuses to act, I'd consider that very odd. Of course if some of those M.P.s are part of the "religious right" they probably think the deceased will go to heaven or whatever. <br /><br />Haper and his clowns didn't see much wrong with exporting asbestos either. <br /><br />Harper has an agenda which is based on his personal beliefs. He has his majority and he is going to stick with his agenda. People voted for him so we get what we wanted. Its just Harper wasn't all that honest with the voters. But what else is new.<br /><br />Too much salt in a child's diet is a form of child abuse.

However, given the poor physical condition of the average ever younger Canadian due mainly to diet and sedentary lifestyle, it is apparent they show little regard for their own well being, despite the information being available in two syllable words with pictures.<br /><br />I can understand that we shouldn't legislate for stupidity, but this is a matter of cost in it's many forms for all of us and the individual. I don't see the difference between this issue and the succesful campaign against smoking. Different substances, same denials, same results.<br /><br />I casn only assume our Govt. had been given advice by the same lobbyists that supply U.S. schools with food, were succesful in convincing the U.S. Govt. that pizza and fries were vegetables.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-35309179377053320932011-12-06T16:16:58.305-08:002011-12-06T16:16:58.305-08:00If a processed food has too much salt, DON'T B...If a processed food has too much salt, DON'T BUY IT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-54124264882722876632011-12-06T13:54:37.210-08:002011-12-06T13:54:37.210-08:00Sure could go for a McDonald's Double Quarter ...Sure could go for a McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, large fries and a large Coke right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-47453890828667817072011-12-06T12:15:26.862-08:002011-12-06T12:15:26.862-08:00How would a responsible journalist go about findin...How would a responsible journalist go about finding out how much money salt producers and food manufacturers have 'donated' to the Conservatives?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
