The government wants citizens to cut back on salt. Officials say blacks, senior citizens, and any one with high blood pressure should reduce their sodium intake to about half a teaspoon a day.
Pass (on) The Salt
Uncle Sam would have us halt
Our penchant to devour salt.
This particular fixation
Inflicts one-half our population.
Eat less, he says, and feel much fresher,
And avoid such things as high blood pressure.
Less salt intake from your daily bread
Could mean longer life before your dead.
