salt in the supermarket - Google Search
Imagine if we were to go through a supermarket and list the 100 worst things to buy if you have learned why, and committed to, reducing your salt intake. A handout at the entrance? That would make an interesting standoff with the supermarket, wouldn't it? They might call the police and if ordered to leave, I certainly would. But then I would stand on a public sidewalk nearest the entrance and offer the flyer to all who enter! Imagine the story: "XMarket Calls Police When Customer Complains of Too Much Salt"!
