The point is that if the USDA regulates the term of bleeding of the dead cacuass to elimate high consintrations of salt in the blood, the Jw's will be able to eat USDA meat since it would compliy with the bible standard at Genesis 9:4, not to eat poorly bled meat.

I am all for salt. Dagney and I are into designer salt, pink, gray, corse, flakes
some say it's all just 'salt' nay, each is unique
and I had understood the chicken bones were red because they were killed at such a young age, bones not fully mature. Hum....I must watch more TV, those industrial factory tour programs are very educational.
Actually, the Center for Science in the Public Interest has been after the FDA for Thirty (30) Years since 1978 to do something about the reduction of salt in processed foods. They even sued the FDA in court in 1983 and again in 2005.
The FDA is just now holding a "hearing" on "whether and how to limit or otherwise reduce the salt content in processed foods."
It's the Medical Community that are pressuring the FDA now, The American Medical Association.
"The American Medical Association says that 150,000 lives could be saved in the U.S. annually if salt in processed foods and restaurant foods were cut in half." (High Blood Pressure, Stroke, Heart Disease)
Seventy Seven (77%) percent of American's sodium consumption comes from processed and restaurant foods. Not the salt shaker as everyone imagines.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend a limit of 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. Americans are eating twice that at ONE MEAL.
Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast has 4,460 mg of Sodium. Swanson’s Hungry Man XXL Roasted Carved Turkey Frozen Dinner has 5,410 mg of sodium.
Of course, if the FDA gets a move on and regulates the Salt Content of processed foods...it's going to put the Marketing Community into a hurried rush to jump on the band wagon and label foods as "HEALTHY" because the salt will be reduced.
I was looking at my instant coffee (which i keep on hand when i don't feel like making a whole pot) and it is labeled as "0 Trans Fat" When the hell did Coffee have fat in it????
the best way to avoid the problems caused by excessive sodium is by cooking naturally at home. it's the pre-made processed foods that are the culprit...resturant and pre-made meals and canned goods etc.
Yep, as tinker said...salt isn't salt.
Refined or Table salt is 99.9% sodium-chloride with an occasional 0.01% of Potassium-Iodide. It comes from strange places like dirt or concrete basins. It's heated to the extreme and refined... stripped of all other minerals. C hemical are added to it to make it free- flowing and it's bleached to give it that pretty white color.
Unrefined sea salt is still 98% sodium-chloride but, it's that special 2% of Epsom salts and other Magnesium salts, Calcium salts, Potassium (Kalium) salts, Manganese salts, Phosphorus salts, Iodine salts that add 90-100 minerals. This is the good salt, the kind we need when we sweat. Our bodies NEED salt. But, not the refined, bleached kind.

Huh? The JWs I know already eat USDA meat, and have been doing so all along.
You may be thinking of Jews
