Anyone notice how much unnecessary salt there is in pretty much everything that is sold at the grocery store, fast food places, etc.? I think that has far more to do with our country's rate of heart disease than obesity. It's also one of the reasons I am so cynical about the FDA. Despite the severe health problems associated with Aspartame, it's still on the market (though drugs of modest value are often kept off!) and the amount of salt in much of our food supply is downright poisonous. I'd much rather see the FDA establish legal limits on sodium in our food supply to bring it back down to healthy levels than do most of what it does with regulating experimental drugs.
We're getting ready to move into a new townhouse. 1330 square feet, fireplace and garage for about two grand a month. Sounds outrageous to most people, but then it's actually the safe way to get a fairly big living space around here these days.
I can think of several small dogs I've known that are deserving of this fate.
Tragedies like this are bound to happen when the police try to tempt people into committing a crime. "Bait cars" make sense when the police have a specific suspect in mind, but when they are just used as bait you've got a problem. It's the same deal as when attractive female cops pose as prostitutes. Sure, you may catch a repeat offender, but chances are equally high, if not higher, that you'll just tempt someone into committing a new crime in the process, and that's immoral for reasons obvious to most Christians.

Unnecessary salt? I don't believe in such a thing. Salt = good. :D

Well, yeah, Aspartame needs to go. I can't stand that crap. And real sugar is better for you anyway.

Well, I seem to have survived so far. And even God likes salt on His meals. (Lev. 2:13, Eze. 43:24)

Boy, you can't go stealin' my salt! Have you ever tried to eat an unsalted Cheez-it? Well, in case you haven't, they suck.
When I was a volunteer in the Olympics, we ate meals out of plastic boxes that had been prepared days (weeks?) in advance and kept in refrigerators until they were needed. Let me tell you, those sandwiches were about as bland as turkey and bread can be. Without mustard, pepper, and SALT, they would have been unpalatable. I gained a great appreciation for condiments during that experience.
Let's all say it together: salt is good, salt is our friend...
I'm not advocating the FDA make everything salt free by any means! What I'm saying is that it's ridiculous that a 200 calorie freezer meal is allowed to have 40-50% of your recommended allowance of sodium! I love Chick-Fil-A, but their sandwiches have 54% of my RDA of sodium, and I doubt that they need more than half of that for actual flavor or preservation of the food. You have lunch meats which normally have about 10% of your RDA of salt per slice! Something needs to give there. I think salt levels could be cut by 50% without any problems.

Thanks for letting me post.

Can we keep the salt and just sweat twice as much? ;)
