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.

I would agree the US overuses salt in processed foods. I don’t perceive a big problem with restaurants and bakeries, which this guy wants to go after.
We over use MSG. That’s what is really messing people up in processed and restaurant food.
See folks... here's the deal... when you let government persecute one group of people, e.g. smokers... and why can't smokers do what they want with their bodies like women who abort their babies --> thus they become mentally ill or get breast cancer...
Or allow gays and down lows to infect the country with Aids...
Hope you see where I'm going with this... Bloomberg and the other RATS got to go...
In the 50s these hall monitors would have been called mentally ill....
I agree. I repeatedly posted warnings to the tobacco banners that their moves would set precedents which they would come to regret. Well ...
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."
Note to self: pick jaw up off floor.
I’m speechless...

How does this work in a Korean restaurant? NO KIMCHI FOR YOU!
What about margaritas?
Actually it goes deeper because mixed in with their nannyism is a simmering hatred for the companies and businesses that make money from it, just as with insurance companies or anyone else. These people are socialists.
I Googled his official website and found that parts of it are completely in Spanish.
So you were forced at gunpoint to enter private property were the legal activity of tobacco use was taking place?
As a consumer you have plenty of choices. Business owners should be allowed to cater to whatever market they chose. I don’t like screaming children, so I stay out of Chuck E Cheese. If you don’t like the smell of tobacco smoke, then don’t reward them with your dollars.
How about we ban shell fish from seafood restaurants, because someone with an allergy might want to go to enter that private property?
Private property is a lynch pin for freedom. These “bans” are a trampling of private property rights. You are the perfect example of the sheeple that celebrated this trampling.
Your salt burns my eyes.
Under what authority are they banning salt?
Restaurants use far too much salt because the American palett is used to it. This is a over reaction to his dad’s death. Probably part of the grieving. But his dad didn’t die from salt. Salt exacerbated the condition, but wasn’t the cause of death.
Next: Water is banned in the preparation of coffee and tea.
Idiots.
New York wants to become Detroit apparently.
The authority that was given to them by the sheeple that hailed the trampling of private property rights.
Then quit sticking your face in his french fries ...
