The FDA can regulate all kinds of things because they are "unhealthy". However - here is my take on this.

They are regulating publicly sold products - not telling individual people that they cannot use salt all they want. However - while I can see legal authority to do it - I also see it as a slippery slope, since once they regulate how things can be processed - they then can regulate what is sold.

Is it a big deal? Not to me. Yet I can understand the concern. Ultimately one has to ask the following question on anything like this: Is this part of the Government's defined role?

The answer to that is no..... thus its a bad idea.

*If anyone can show me where in the constitution it says its the job of the government to protect people from themselves, do so.
