Salt loving mayor seeks to cut salt in NYC diets
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg pushes a voluntary city salt reduction plan after banning trans fats and requiring calorie counts. Guidelines urge up to 40 percent cuts in cereals and snacks, 25 percent in cold cuts and cheese, with broader 20 percent to 30 percent targets for popcorn and hot dogs. The plan aims to lower national sodium intake and reduce heart disease risk, modeled on Britain’s 2003 program.
