Mick Maybe you should lobby this .
Form the Zero Tolerance to Salt Party.......it's as good a platform as many out there.
I think you will get good support from this forum.
Have a go......

Oi! A warning.
The first post was never meant to be political. Don't push it that way.
Reaching for the salt shaker is a form of exercise.
Don't tell me it isn't.
I cut out salt, sugar and alcohol. It was the scariest 5 minutes of my life:wasntme:
No salt, no sugar, no alcohol, no burnt toast, no fatty foods, don't do drugs, don't drive fast....
Live a longer, more miserable life and die grumpy :p

I read the story on salt. It appears to me that the bit we add to our food on the plate is not the issue.
I am currently on a diet(lost 8 kg so far and my new AULRO shirt fits now) so I went and read the food labels on everything I ate for the day.
My total salt consumption was not high, about two grams, but the only salt added to my meals after serving was a small amount on my mashed spuds.
The rest came from, breakfast cereal (Al Bran with honey and almond),
lunch, two sandwiches, bread has salt, one cup of soup (lots of salt).
The above is what was refereed to in the story as hidden salt.
Now if I was not dieting you can add the occasional packet of chips or biscuits along with other rubbish. Crickey, even canned salmon, which I love has salt in it.
As we all know Mothers Day has just gone , Anyway my wife was brought a box of of Lindt Lindor , " Sea Salt Caramel " as a present . I never had Salt flavored chocolate before , but I can tell you there very nice . I think I'm going to take a chance with the salt , even now I know It's not good for me . If It gets me , It can go on my Headstone !!..Jim..
Could not agree more **** the road toll, last night's dinner was roast lamb and baked veggies.....pass the salt please I said with anticipation. I think it actually enhances the taste, well of that meal anyway and i'm willing to pay.
I believe the Government should somehow be capping quantities of fat, sugar, salt, various preservatives and colours in processed food via a manufacturing food tax. If Coke want to put 14 tea spoons of sugar in a can of coke let them. If Johnny wants to drink 5 cans a day let him, just tax them.
It should not be community pay all the bill with the health issues, while Coke counts the profits. Perhaps a can of Coke should be $5, and the water $2, with the turn around in tax instead if profits. I can tell you water at $2 per bottle the profits are already well over 100%.
Working out the bench mark on daily quantities however will have all sorts of do gooders, consumers, and manufacturers saying they are being discriminated against. But its something our Governments should be doing collectively as they struggle with the health bill now. And that is with a aged community that was raised far healthier then the current.
