And latest articles saying that to cut down on salt will trigger heart attacks ...
Next we’ll (men, obviously) have to sit down to pee. (See South Park episode re-same)
I loathe the Marxist Obama(Soetoro)-DeBlasio(Wilhelm) paradigm. We must destroy them at the polls.....or any other way.
The evidence that eating salt is unhealthful for healthy people is scant, although there may be some benefit for people with certain health conditions. I think that most people understand that just because diabetics can’t eat sugar, or people with allergies cannot eat certain foods, that it does not mean that sugar or those foods are dangerous for everyone. Yet that same nuanced understanding flies out the window where salt is involved.
Regardless of ethnicity, geography, dietary customs, etc., the quantity of salt people consume daily is consistent. This consistency across groups is a strong indicator that the amount of salt that people eat is biologically driven. Any doctor who jumps on the low-salt bandwagon would do well to question whether urging people to ignore their biologically driven signals is actually healthy. Would they encourage a thirsty person not to drink?
Regardless of the science involved, the city of New York has no business dictating how restaurants should prepare their food or trying to control how people eat.
Or drink big gulps.
So in NYC it is ok to pee and defecate on the street but not ok to eat salty food.
Don't go knocking New York values. You know how that gets New Yorkers' pull-ups all in a bundle.
Salt in your blood stream is regulated by the adrenal gland. Sodium is an effect not a cause. If your body calls for more salt, it will get it through some means or another.
I remember when I was in the service 45 years ago, they used to hand out salt tablets so we would retain fluids and not get dehydrated. Salt was used to prevent dehydration for thousands of years. I doubt if our basic physiology has changed in the last 35 or 40 years.
I conceal-carry a salt shaker.
Any time you see some egregious violation of individual liberty in NYC and might be tempted to feel sorry for New Yorkers, remember THEY VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY for the jackasses who are ramming this crap down their throats. They voted 3 to 1 in favor of that moron de blasio. So anything bad that the government does to New Yorkers, isn't half bad enough. They deserve every crappy invasive regulation they get and more.
Is there ANYTHING that the NYC government DOESN’T regulate?
North Korea is more free.
In fact, from now on I shall call them NYK.
North Yankee Korea.
I hope it becomes impossible to find even a loaf bread in N.Y., Mass., Calif. and the rest of those crap holes.... JUST LIKE ARGENTINA...!
***...it is ok to pee and defecate on the street but not ok to eat salty food. ***
I understand the reasoning behind this! If you eat SALTY food, you get thirsty and drink lots of liquids. Then you have to go pee.
So in order to clean up NYC they ban salt so you won’t pee on the streets, which is legal!
Now if they would just ban bulk foods and give out vitamin and energy pills...
Sarc:
Here’s hoping the restaurants don’t NaCl under.
