I used to consume excessive amounts of salt when I was younger and it was only after I was given the warning that I was going to\u00a0have to deal with hypertension that I stopped completely and now only take a minimum amount of salt with most of my meals. This idea of an emblem being placed on menus is a great way to let me know what foods I should avoid. However, this rule doesn&#8217;t mean that it will be effective to everybody. Majority may choose to ignore the warning label and consume that meal. Regardless, I agree with the article when it states that people do need to be informed. As long as people understand that their intake of salt is excessive, it may lead them to be more cautious about their meal choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting today, New York City has a new rule regarding nutritional warnings in chain restaurants.
