Then they came for the salt

First it was tobacco, then trans fats, now the State of New York has a bill before the legislature to ban the use of salt in all restaurants.

Here is the text from the original bill

S 399-BBB. PROHIBITION ON SALT; RESTAURANTS. 1. 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.

Are they insane? Of course the next step would logically be to remove salt from the grocery stores because that would be the only place we could still get this extremely dangerous substance!
