N.Y. To Ban Salt In Restaurants

[Wyatt Burp]

Yep. Bill A. 01129 by Felix Ortiz (D) would ban the use of salt in preparing food in NY restaurants. That state is swimming in corruption scandals, the country has massive unemployment, and we're on the verge of killing the economy with socialized healthcare, and this is the stuff they consider important.

Grits and peas just ain't no 'count unless they are cooked with salt. If you don't use salt when you cook them, you cain't never add enough!

Do they eat grits in NYC?

 

[dmar]

This initiative gives a whole new meaning to the term "nanny state..."

 

[rondo]

This is the kind of thing we will all be subject to when they pass socialized healthcare.

 

[sipowicz]

This should lower the assalt rate.

Someone may correct me, but isn't it New York City that made up a bunch of pamphlets advising heroin users how to re-use their needles safely? Makes sense to me.

No, they don't. And if you could get them to fix some for you, you wouldn't want to eat them, either.

So, anyone got a holster recommendation for deep concealment of a salt shaker?

Wow. And NYC is home to some of the best restaurants in the world...
it's absurd of course. But I just don't see it happening.
Who do you think the "Salt Police" will be? Maybe it could be a new job for some of the food critics. It could start a whole other branch of corruption in itself. The restaurants could pay the Food Critic Salt Police to look the other way and get a good review!

My dad would salt everything to where it looked like a snow field. It might have been what killed him at 90.

Totalitarianism is upon the American nation.

Obama just appointed Charlie Tuna as Salt Czar. Any chef caught using salt will be sent to, you guessed it. The salt mines.

Ortiz (D)

Nuff said.

 

[novalty]

What's next........pepper? Guilty by association. The two are always seen together.

 

[rock doc]

If it saves just one life, it will be worth it!! Sarcasm off.

 

[feralmerril]

No, never pepper. ----Now if we could color salt black-------?

 

[rondo]

How are they going to make those wonderful corned-beef sandwiches?

 

[novalty]

It is really going to kill the sale of Margaritas.

 

[The Highlander]

NY! I expected CA maybe.

No Salt

No Salt NY is an excellent idea.
Salt is necessary for body functions and, we get most of it from foods we eat. Excesses of salt Blood Pressure and, Hardning of the Arteries.
There is NO SALT SHAKER at our house in Virginia. We use salt only on sidewalks and, driveway.

I'm sorry, but who the heck are you to dictate how someone else lives? Salt in moderation is not a health issue.

I bought some low sodium foods, and guess what there was in a large proportion - potassium. When are "they" going to figure out that's no good either.

Quit trying to control my life already.
