Seems kind of slippery-slopey...

The war for healthiness in food is continuing. The new target is salt:

Singer Jimmy Buffett will never find his "lost shaker of salt" in New York City or any other place in the country if Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his way. The mayor is waging a war on salt and he wants food manufacturers and restaurants to join his army…or else.

...Thomas Frieden, the city's health commissioner, said he wants manufacturers and restaurants to join the war on salt voluntarily. If they don't, the city could pass legislation making it the law.

To me, this certainly seems to be a step towards confirming the fears of people who argue that the legislation of food choices is a slippery slope. I'm curious to hear how the people who have been most vocal about that being a flawed way of thinking react to this story.
