Whether it may be smart to reduce sodium intake and whether the government should mandate reducing sodium intake are two different questions. That something may be beneficial is not sufficient grounds for mandating it. Getting married supposedly extends your life and makes you happier. Going to college improves your lifestyle prospects. Wearing something warm when the temperature drops is a healthy thing to do. Should the government mandate those? What makes sodium special? If the government wants to nanny our eating, why not outlaw or tax processed foods? There's lots more wrong with processed foods than sodium. What's so special about sodium?
