Topic: Salt Addiction

Large food corporations like Kraft reportedly use sophisticated algorithms to minimize ingredients while maximizing the addictive quality of packaged foods. Innovations include triangular salt crystals designed to provide more flavor with less mass. Modern processed foods are described as being composed primarily of emulsifiers, plastic-like textures, and artificial flavorings.

Health Canada released a report recommending a significant reduction in daily sodium intake and calling for mandatory salt labeling in restaurants. The hosts view these voluntary targets as a precursor to stricter government monitoring of citizens' diets. They link the global push for salt reduction to the Codex Alimentarius and joke about using Vivitrol to treat "salt addiction."
