I do think the evidence of sodium->adverse health consequences is very strong, but I’m also more bearish on a sodium tax now compared to the past—it could well be better to focus on the regulatory stuff, which tends to be less unpopular (as we see from climate, where people are fine with quotas but not taxes, even though they are functionally equivalent in their impact on CO2 emissions and prices). Looking forward to talking to nonprofits and advocacy orgs already working on this, and letting you and Jacob know if this is something CEAP might want to pursue!
