Add this to the list of "things you need to know about Liberal Democrats".

[Eye of Unk]

I’m no expert but I do believe we must have some salt or sodium content, I agree its overdone a lot, I buy many canned soups that I can hardly eat because of too much salt, I also have high blood pressure which is attributed from too much sodium intake.

But salt should not be completely removed, all it will do is to encourage people to bring their own.

"If I owned a New York restaurant, I'd refuse to serve any politician that walked in the door:  'You're trying to put me out of business, go starve, go down to the bodega and pick up something on the street side and eat that.'"

[GOP_Lady]

"I simply turn on the Golden EIB Microphone and share my honest passions and beliefs with people. And they're free to go elsewhere. They're free to ignore; they're free to believe; they're free to be entertained, I don't care. They're free to do whatever they want. But a lot of people aren't free to smoke cigarettes where they want; they're not free to drink where they want; they're not free to eat the kind of food they want to eat; they're not free to eat trans fats; they're not free to drive certain places. Pretty soon we're going to be told what kind of cars we have to drive. I can't cause that. I can't restrict anybody's freedom. We've elected a guy who can, does, and wants to, all under the guise of saving us. So I appreciate the effort, and I appreciate somewhat losing my temper here. But don't compare me ever to an authoritarian who thinks so little of people that without him they can barely breathe on their own. Don't ever do that." LEARN IT, LOVE IT, LIVE IT! If one cannot understand Rush's words above, then one does not truly understand FREEDOM!

How many times do I have to say this?

These are the types of politician we have to worry about, not about the one in the video above.

[wita]

Jeez, I already know more than I ever wanted to know. When does it stop? Rhetorical question, I think.

Who are the campaign supporters for
Assemblyman Felix Ortiz of New York City?

This fellow needs more vetting for the rest of his looney views.

[NavyCanDo]

At first, I think this kind of moronic law will never see the light of day, but then I look at my own liberal state of Washington where Liberals passed a law banning smoking within 15 feet of any business and of course no smoking inside those buildings either. Even the patrons of Taverns have to take their smoking outside, and 15 feet away. And unforeseen problem #1 is now the curb has become their new ashtray, with cigarette buts tossed into the street. Just lovely.

[Paleo Conservative]

Why just restaurants? Why not food processors and grocery stores? Couldn’t a restaurant get around this regulation by using ingredients that already have salt in them?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

As power curdles into arrogance, the assumption of superiority becomes so intoxicating that the tyrant has no clue of how foolish or evil his conduct becomes.

This is why so many of us have wanted NYC to separate from the rest of the state. Let them join up with Jersey or become independent. Then the freak politicians downstate can live in their own circus.

Assemblyman Felix Ortiz

[The_Reader_David]

Felix Ortiz should be condemned to a completely salt-free diet. Bread. Have you ever had bread without salt?

[Will88]

Sodium is necessary for human life. I guess these idiots know that. Sure, too much is detrimental, but laws prohibiting its use in restaurants are pretty loony.

[ZinGirl]

Does this mean no more margaritas....?

[OB1kNOb]

They can have my salt shaker when they pry it from my cold dead (but salty) fingers.

[Niteranger68]

If I were King, Felix Ortiz would pull my plow every day until he drew his last breath.

[katana]

I guess this New York assemblyman wants to ban the ocean touching NYC's shores and the Red Cross from storing and dispensing blood since both are basically just salted water.

Is it just me or has the average IQ level of most politicians really dropped into single digits?

I could go on, but the point is clear. There aren’t a lot of foods that can be served legally. Why does this remind me of a central theme from Atlas Shrugged?
