No. I'm not a professional offense taker. I just don't like blatant lies.
And what he said at the beginning *are* blatant lies.

No need to read the article when it starts out as lies.

They don't have to take me at my word. Marks words are right out there and
they are lies! Experts are not telling us to avoid salt! Some experts
might say to watch the sodium level in the foods that we eat. Why? Because
most people do eat things like condensed soup and frozen meals. And those
things can be super high in sodium.

But there's the lie! The *experts* aren't telling you this! Mark is just
telling you that they are. Why do you need someone to tell you things like
this anyway? There is an RDA for all vitamins and minerals. It's easy
enough to run your foods and drinks through the Cron-O-Meter or some such
thing to see if you are getting too much of something or not enough. Or
even get a blood test when it comes to things like potassium.

Whatever! That doesn't even make sense!
