Mr. Bingley points to this story about a proposed bill in NY to ban chefs from using any salt in the meals they prepare:
"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.
Yesterday I read a story about taxing pizza and soda to combat obesity:
Taxing junk food may help reduce obesity and improve health, researchers have found.
Patients got significantly less of their calories from soda or pizza when there was a 10 percent increase in the price of either, Penny Gordon-Larsen of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and colleagues reported in the March 8 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
"Policies aimed at altering the price of soda or ... pizza may be effective mechanisms to steer U.S. adults toward a more healthful diet and help reduce long-term weight gain or insulin levels over time," the researchers wrote.
They're never going to stop, you know. It's bad enough now, but just wait and see how bad it will get if health care reform passes. By formalizing the socialization of health care costs, there will be no aspect of life that these people will NOT try to regulate in the name of "cost to society".
Think that's crazy?
Some idiot in New York wants to ban chefs from using salt. Salt. Good grief.
