I'm glad to see the FDA doing this. They're not telling you as an individual how much salt you can consume. Go nuts and put salt on everything you eat. They're getting companies to reduce the amount of salt they add to processed food which help boost the flavour profile of something that could otherwise be shite tasting. A lot of people have NO IDEA how much salt they're consuming because they fail to take into account the amount of sodium present in packaged or pre-prepared food.

IMO, this is the FDA exercising quality control, and I hope that the equivalent body in Canada does something similar.

I'm the first to point to slippery slopes, but this is such a huge stretch that it's laughable. I think there's more commotion to be made about the virtual police state we're already living in as evidenced by the actions of some police employees, border guards, security guards, etc.
