First, the Nazi York City government banned all smoking in private establishments. Then, it banned the use of trans fats in restaurant-prepared foods. Most probably it will impose a tax on sugared soft drinks. And now (drum roll, please) one of the Nazis has proposed a BAN ON THE USE OF SALT in preparing restaurant foods.

Fortunately, New York City chefs are up in arms about this latest Hitlerian proposal. Unfortunately, I will no longer be shocked if their protest doesn't do any good.

UPDATE: Sam Carson has written to point out that the bill actually is from a criminal in the New York State government, therefore, this would cover the entire state. This was my error in reading the original article. I guess I got so carried away when I saw the phrase "New York City chefs" that it didn't register with me that the bill was actually being proposed to the state legislature.
