Thank you for ordering. Your order for dinner has been sent to HHS for approval per your dietary compliance. You should receive it in eight to ten weeks if approved.

You’re spot on, but Americans have been neutered and brainwashed. Most will see it as “good for you”, and accept it.

If people let government decide what foods they eat
and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon
be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who
live under tyranny.

Salt is just about the only way a person gets Iodine these days, and there are studies out that show that iodized table salt is often missing or way short the supposed iodine. This has lead to a lot of thyroid issues, I do not for one thing salt is so bad for you, I take Idoral now for Iodine but break the pills and take it in smaller amounts than recommended.

I like salt...So do I, and my blood pressure is on the low side of normal. If worse comes to worse, I will smuggle salt into the restaurant.

Until I started paying attention, I had no idea how MUCH salt was in processed food. I watch the sodium in processed food, cut back on fast food, don't add it in cooking, etc etc etc. I feel much better than I did before.
That having been said, it's none of NYC's business how much I salt my popcorn. Get the hell out of my life.

As a metric, you know you have too much government when there is an office of government that worries about your potential salt intake. One would think the city of NY would have more pressing problems to engage than the potential of salt in a citizens diet. If I may suggest, i would recommend NYC and NY state considering replacing salt as the go to de-icer of roads in favor of sand. This would save a fortune on the early deterioration of citizen vehicles and would prevent the salization of their fresh water streams and resevoirs. I know they won’t do it because there are some very well-heeled NYers who own salt mines, but it would benefit the state and citizens with no decrease in vehiclar safety. Just sayin.

Cook books used to say “season to taste”
Now they will have to say “season to government specification”.
