You have to wonder if the next move would be to outlaw sales of salt in stores - pretty soon you'd have people selling salt "under the table" complete idiots!!!!

I try to watch the salt intake.That's my business and my choice to share that info with my friends on the forum.Everyone else can stick it.

...but not the batteries.
The state that banned firecrackers, sparklers, strike-any-where matches and lead fishing sinkers will now take on that evil compound salt.
Somehow it seems to fit right in.
If it's so bad,,then they should ban it. But they better ban tobacco and alcohol before they ban salt if that's the case.
Perhaps a salt tax is a possibility is this cash strapped state. After all, those other substances are allowed to be sold and used as long as the gov't profits from the tax money.
They must not be as bad as they say they are as long as they can be taxed.
Better yet they should just leave us the hell alone.

Are they going to ban swimming in the ocean, too? Might accidentally swallow some salt water....

Everything is going so well the government has nothing to worry about except your salt intake. We couldn't have it any better.

Clearly, that Ortiz feller ain't worth his salary.
The word salary is derived from the word salarium, (IIRC) which is also the Latin word for salt.
That is where the old saying "he isn't worth his salt" comes from.
That there boy ain't worth his salt.
That feller that came up with this is an absolute idiot.

When I lived in NY I went to Ohio for the fireworks, Connecticut for the lobsters and clams, Pennsylvania for some deer hunting, Canada for the high test booze; I guess I would have had to add a trip to Massachusetts for the ol salt.
And people ask me why I moved from my home (I do miss the place dearly- not the bull crap though).
Gee, I wonder why.

I know I'm out of line here however, grits without salt is like Smith & Wesson without shiny steel and polished wood!

It's mostly just the folks within 50 miles of NYC and 50 miles of Albany.
You wouldn't want everything that happens in Austin blamed on you, would you? It's mostly just the folks within 50 miles of NYC and 50 miles of Albany.
Thanks for clearing that up
Btw, eating grits in NY is like eating pizza in the deep south.

Please tell me how you know that. I do understand Sodium has a hypertensive effect, Sodium Chloride is salt.
I can't say for sure. But the doc tells me, salt is bad if you have high BP. But it will not give you high BP.
In any case, who cares? It is not the Govs job to 'protect' me from the evils of salt, or tobacco, or trans fats, or whatever.

It's not our fault that NY'ers don't make pizza the way we like it.
It also criminal down here to eat fried chicken with a fork.
