Campbell's Adding Salt to Soups

Well, this news has puckered some food-Nazis health advocates.

At an investor meeting on Tuesday, Campbell Soup Co.'s incoming chief executive, Denise Morrison, announced an about-face: The company, which won kudos from health advocates for lowering sodium in its soups a few years back, will be adding salt back into its 31 Select Harvest soups in an effort to improve the way they taste.

I suspect there will always be a segment of American society who wants to mandate particulars on what other people eat. And it's my guess that the same people who want salt limited in processed and fast food also favor gun control and the legalization of marijuana.
