I don't think it's necessary to attribute it to malice - tell people
that they need salt and the stupid sheople will go back to adding salt
to their already salty ready meals.  So given that it's nigh-on
impossible to avoid NaCl in real food, their advice of eating a sensibly
balanced diet and avoiding junk food covers eating the small amount of
salt we need.
