john: we wrote about a guy named michael jacobson, the head of a group in washington that is pressing fda to set limits on how much salt food companies can add into processed food. they have been actually trying to get these sodium levels installed for years now. 40 years. carol: 40 years. david: a disciple of ralph nader. i know the government has some guidance, many of us exceed what they recommend. but there is no limit placed on any of these companies that make food. john: that is the issue here. for a long time, health authorities have recommended that people consume less sodium. 2.3 grams peret day, about one teaspoon of salt. almost universally eat significantly more than that. and it is not because we are adding it at the table, it is generally because it is baked into the food -- the process food, the restaurant meals that we all eat. if you want tot lower salt consumption across the board, you have to start at the pie. and get food manufacturers to agree to lower the sodium in their product. carol: i thought that was interesting in your story, even though we have become more

jacobson has that story. >> reporter: today, michael slicker is no longer shackled. judge clifton newman set bond for the accused former officer.>> i am setting the bond of $500,000 in surety bond.>> reporter: the judge thought it would be unfair to keep's leg or in jail. that is because the court has mandated that he has to wait until after the trial of dylan roof. he is a man accused of shooting nine parishioners at mother case ahead of another major, mamar case. the change in circumstances is the state has decided not to give michael slicker the speedy trial is requested for at least another year. murder being given bond is not unusual.>> reporter: criminal defense attorney david ehlers says he has handled around 10 murder cases. often bond is denied at first and then granted later. like what happened with slicker.>> everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty. everyone should be kept in jail until leading to a resolution.>> reporter: right now, he will await trial at home until the jury decides his ultimate fate. >> that is stacy jacobson reporting for us
