On Thursday, Carolina Journal‘s Sara Burrows wrote about how the nanny-state attack on salt could change many of our most cherished North Carolina foods, especially country ham and Brightleaf hotdogs.
Sara’s reporting revealed that, if the salt nazis win, a country ham will cease to exist. Many other items that get their character from salt, or which need salt as an essential preservative, will be forever changed. Among those are dill pickles and even ketchup.
Heinz ketchup, for example, which lines the haughty John Kerry’s pockets via a convenient wedding, is about to knuckle under to Nanny-in-Chief Michael Bloomberg in New York:
By the time the H. J. Heinz Company is finished remaking its world-famous ketchup to comply with Michael Bloomberg’s National Salt Reduction Initiative, you may not recognize the product.
As reported last month, Heinz is one of 16 national food manufacturers and food service vendors that has knuckled under to pressure from the New York City mayor to reduce the salt content in their products by 25 percent.
