Other then what my doctor and co-workers tell me (I work at a medical clinic), no, I don't. However there is no need to add salt to pop, there are other substances which are just as effective at making it fix without the harmful health effects.
Also, I'm reading a lot of Americans talk about their freedoms. If the government subsidizes corn, so that you eat more corn based products, how is that not the same less against your freedom? Remove the subsidy you you truely can eat/drink what you want. This would naturally inflate the cost of chips and other junk food, but if healthier alternatives are cheaper without subsidies, and you eat healthier things as a result, then isn't this truely freedom and not some world where junk food is subsidized?
Also when I made this thread, the intention is that you still get to eat what you like, only it's healthier now. Yes junk food will likely go up in price a bit, but the gain in health from producers putting less salt/fat/sugar in their foods would be worth the stricter regulations. It's no different then speed limits on highways, they are there to keep you alive (in the case of food alive longer).
