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.
The legislation, which Assemblyman Felix Ortiz , D-Brooklyn, introduced on March 5, would fine restaurants $1,000 for each violation.
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion says it best:
Don't think government, if given the chance, will try to control the most minute aspects of your life?
Don't worry that once the bureaucracy gets ahold of the right to regulate your health care decisions -- starting with what type of insurance you are required to buy -- the end result will be absurdity?
Are you one of those people who think that government has the ability to restrain itself from exercising power given to it?
Imagine the mindset one would need to have to even propose such a ban in the first place. Now, imagine trying to square that mindset with basic human rights or democracy. (Hint: It can't be done.)
