The Food Police strike again
The food police (Center for "Science" in the "Public" "Interest") managed another headline as the Attic notes. That's about all they do, write headlines that cannot be substantiated.
ABC's John Stossel busted the myth that higher salt intake is a universal health risk years ago. While some must indeed watch their sodium intake, most do not. So now that they killed off half the taste of movie popcorn by eliminating the flavorful but saturated tropical oils, they want you to eat it without salt to remove the other half?
Before the blogs, I remember the paper publishing the CSPI's fatuous claim that a typical lunchtime deli tuna sandwich contained over 1,300 calories. I e-Mailed the reporter who was kind to reply back, admitting that upon further review, yes such a sandwich would be so dripping with mayonnaise as to be inedible.
These junk nutritionists at the CSPI have found fault with almost every cuisine - Mexican, Asian, Italian, even the corner Deli. Whatever's left, now we have to have it without salt?
I'd love to know what these people eat so I can avoid the associated brain damage.
