that's not what Obama wants , he wants you to eat salt and no potassium , that way you die faster.
You are going to die anyway, so if salt and low potassium make you happy, go for it. How many people can this planet hold and feed? If no one passes away whatcha' going to do to feed the hungry (can't do it now) and where they goin' live?
Why, so you can live to some old age with dementia and a broken down body?
