Doesn't say that customers can't use salt.
It just says that restaurants can't add salt to food. I don't see any thing that says they can't have salt shakers on the tables or salt packets in the bags.

why should it matter?
why should we limit the chef's ability to create his product in any way he/she sees fit?
It sounds to me like you are somewhat in favor of this? Color me unsurprised. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

People have no idea what's in their food.
Encouraging people to taste their food, and encouraging cooks to think about their ingredients rather than doing things rote because "we've always made it this way", before adding salt is a good idea. American food has too much salt in it, and people who eat out have little choice about it.
No, I don't think a law about it is a good idea (at least not at this time). Having Fox spend as much time telling people about how much added salt is in their food would probably be more productive than them getting all riled up about this. But that's too much work... Cheers, Scott. |

It's called "judgement"
This grandstanding assemblyman -- and I'm pretty sure he's just trying to get his name in the news -- wants to pass a law based on the idea that someone thinks something is bad, so no one should be allowed to use it.
You seem to be arguing that some people disagree with some legislation so no one should be allowed to pass any laws. Are both of you right, or are both of you wrong? --
