Following Bloomberg's new salt reduction initiative, this week's New York mag focuses on all things saline. Platt does a salt taste test; Prune's Gabrielle Hamilton pens a defense of salt and questions the mayor's "eliminationist approach" to solving health problems; the mag tests sodium levels in 14 popular restaurant dishes; and Joshua David Stein goes all Morgan Spurlock by eating a high-fat, high salt diet for two weeks to see what it will do to his body.
