Some New York City chefs and restaurant owners are taking aim at a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.

"No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises," the bill, A. 10129 , states in part.

Fools are asking for revolution. Salt is our decision as a consumer, not some Totalitarian Communist b****rd bunch of manure-like bureaucrats.

If the salt hath lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted?

Salt is outlawed!!!

Well, it’s about time.

Damn salt.

Ya know, the Chinese tax it. Japanese too.

So our Marxists know it must be bad ........

Weird just weird these non American people .

Those in favor of banning salt should first invest in their OWN restaurant, ban salt, and see the customers flock, to other establishments. These people are creeps. Bob

Didja see that aircraft flying over Africa should pay a tax to poor Africans for using their air ????????

Just ANOTHER reason NOT to go to NYC for anything. Broadway and off-Broadway is way to expensive, they want to tax soda’s because they think it will help w/childhood obesity, and now this. I can see a LOT of restaraunts folding up over this.

I can see a LOT of restaurants folding up over this.
Or moving to New Jersey and Connecticut. ---------------------------------------------- Rush just is mentioning this...

I’ll bet the moron who introduced this doesn’t know how to cook.

Actually salt is NECESSARY for your correct biological functioning; without it you WILL die. This is nothing less than an example of government becoming destructive to the “right to life” as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

The next step is to ban the use of water.

When Ortiz is banned from almost every restaurant and finally goes to one where the owner was a friend. the owner should give him a plate with cat poop on it like in Ron Burgundy. There is a good post in the original. This is antisemitic because Kosher meat MUST be prepared with salt.

NY stopped being the salt of the earth quite a while ago.

What about the bakeries?

Salt is needed in bread, it helps the yeast to make it rise. Can’t bake good bread without salt!

Are the democrats unaware that humans will die without some sodium in their diet?

I saw the dem idiot who is proposing this bill on TV earlier and he was trying to pass this off as an improvement in "choice". So banning something increases choice. How about we ban liberals in the interest of choice?
