The CDC issues new warnings regarding excessive salt consumption, comparing the health risks of sodium to those of cigarettes. The hosts predict future regulations that may restrict the use of salt shakers in public restaurants.
The show concludes with a look at strange international laws, including a UK regulation that reportedly allows pregnant women to urinate in a policeman's hat upon request. Additionally, the European Union is considering regulations to limit the salt content in German bread, which has sparked local opposition. The hosts sign off, promising to cover the Greek bailout and CIA wars in the next episode.
A new bill introduced in the New York State Assembly (A-10129) proposes a total ban on the use of salt in restaurant food preparation, with fines of $1,000 per violation. This legislative move is linked to the "Codex Alimentarius," a set of international food standards that critics argue is being used to restrict dietary freedom. The ban is presented as an example of extreme government overreach in personal health matters.
