USNews.com asks: Should the Food Industry Ban Added Salt and Sugar? (duh)

Saw this the other day, screencapped it but forgot to post it:

YES.

Well, the USG should ban sugar and salt and High Fructose Corn Syrup and other addatives that don't add nutritional value, from being added to any food at all. We can leave it up to each citizen to determine how sweet or salty they want it. Who wants some *corporation* telling us how much salt and sugar (or other artificial crap) to put in our bodies??

On a less dramatic note, back in 2003 I stopped consuming foods with chemicals in them--sugar, HFCS, and any other manmade crap and guess what happened--I lost 20 pounds in a month without changing anything else in my life.

No kidding. If the USG cares about our health (since clearly the food industry doesn't) they'll help us all make the same choice and let us determine *on our own* how much sugar and/or salt we want to add.
