re: #78 Cato the Elder

Speaking of insane legislation/regulation, the New York State Assembly is still in the running for Top Idiotarians of the Millennium award.

They’re proposing to ban the use of salt in all restaurant dishes.

Can I get a heave, and a ho, and an upchuck? I hates bland foods, preciousss.

More than that, the bill bans the use of any salt in any preparation of any food.

No breads from the bakery. Salt is a necessary ingredient in almost every baked good. No MSG…so no Chinese food restaurants. Baking Soda is a salt, so no baking soda. No smoked or marinated meats. No fresh cheeses.

This bill is rampant idiocy run amok.

I really do think sometimes that we get the government that we deserve.
