Interesting history - didn't know of the restrictions, etc....
I understand that, but they even politicize (or try to) that part as well - bans on transfats, etc. etc. etc...... Bloomberg wanted to ban salt in NY, iirc - of course he'd have his, but for the masses...
He wanted to ban salt as an added ingredient in restaurants. It would be much better if they used other seasonings instead of most of it. It was a ridiculous idea -- meat isn't Kosher unless it's prepared with salt and disallowing soy sauce would close every Chinese restaurant alone, but he wasn't trying to ban the use of salt within the city.
You would still be allowed to buy a bag of potato chips (15 Lay's Classic Potato Chips = 7% of the salt you need for a day) to go with your cheese sandwich at lunch (34% of the USDA minimum for 2 slices of Kraft American Singles (ugh and 20%), 10% for 2 slices of Wonder Bread (double ugh) and 4% for a tablespoon of Hellman's). Wash it down with a glass of whole milk (4%) and you've reached 45% of your needed daily NaCl intake.
ETA: And they would have allowed salt shakers on the tables in restaurants. The idea was to get rid of most of the hidden salt in restaurant food (which doesn't have nutritional labels on it.) You could have added salt to your food if you wanted it.

Thanks for filling in, but this is the problem.....
-It would be much better if... "better" according to whom or to what standard? For those consumers that wanted to know that, then they should find that out themselves. And failing to get that info from the restaurant owner's, they shouldn't frequent the place. And If they get it, publish it perhaps - like a 'consumer reports' so others so concerned can know. Sell the info, to those who want it, even.
-You would still be allowed to...
-And they would have allowed...
That is so nice of the mayor
And that's all I have to say on the matter as it's leaning 'outside'.....
Good morning y'all 
I love butter and my joker friends (not necessarily in that order)

No, that's the right order.
J/K .... Really J/K. 
Have a wonderful day.

There was a fresh excitement and thrill to it. It was "edgy" and "naughty". Now all of that is rather old hat and has faded away, so yes, Jan is right. It's a touch base thread now, instead of home base for most. Perhaps it is cause we have been here around two years. The thrill of the threads has worn off, and given way to the fall lineup.
Goodnight Jan. Sleep well dear.
Ah in a years time from this
to this
I think RL caught up with some of us. Some went looking for greener pastures. I think it's been disheartening to see how quickly some people jumped out of the thread - at least for me anyways. But this will always be home for me.
I need to get my energy (and some time) back. After all
