Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking
lord_rotorooter writes "Felix Ortiz, D-Brooklyn, introduced a bill that would ruin restaurant food and baked goods as we know them. The measure (if passed) would ban the use of all forms of salt in the preparation and cooking of food for all restaurants or bakeries. While the use of too much salt can contribute to health problems, the complete banning of salt would have negative impacts on food chemistry. Not only does salt enhance flavor, it controls bacteria, slows yeast activity and strengthens dough by tightening gluten. Salt also inhibits the growth of microbes that spoil cheese."
Do you really want the government telling you what you cannot eat?

Fact: We deserve leaders who can kick your ass and field dress your carcass.
I hope your sig is meant to be facetious.
Do you really want the government telling you who you can marry and what you can and can't do with your body?
I've always found that to be the single most hypocritical thing about republicans.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
But is it that New Yorkers generally think they are the intellectual center of the universe *guffaw*?
Or that this particular one is a Democrat *two strikes*?
Or that he was frightened at a young age by a salt shaker at "Chock Full O Nuts" *explains everything?
It's a given politicians are omnidestructive morons generally, this guy seems "special" *short bus* as does his constituency*Brooklyn*, who obviously have a realistic view of the world and its needs from their worldly experience*network t.v. and the Times*.
There should be a universal test for holding any office above mayor. If you want to do it, you shouldn't be allowed to.
*Repent!Quit Your Job!Slack Off!The World Ends Tomorrow and You May Die!
By banning them the playing field is leveled for everyone
Huh? What does fairness have to do with trans fats? There are times when fairness is not desired. For example, should we make sure police and the criminals are equally well armed and organized in order to give the criminals a "fair" chance?
