$1,000 Salt Coming to New York

Restaurants?

Katherine

Mangu-Ward | March 9, 2010

This is a chunk of text from

 

Bill A10129, introduced on Friday in the New York state assembly,

which " Prohibits the use of salt by restaurants in the preparation

of food by restaurants. "

 

 

 

Naturally, the penalties for the use of salt while cooking food

are totally proportionate and reasonable:

 

 

 

$1,000 a pinch? $1,000 a grain? If the bill passes­which we can only hope

it won't, since it is the ravings of a madman in legislative form­it

looks like the folks at

most-expensive.net are going to

have to revisit their entry on the world's

most expensive

salt.

Salt seems quite a point of conflict - Tony what do you say?

 

In "Wild Swans" where the impoverished Chinese are denied salt by their Japanese invaders we are told they have no energy and die - and yet the west sees it as a killer substance - does it depend on which salt you use? Or just salt?

 

Then in my reading I see that the pancreas requires salt for normal function and observe that diabetics often crave salt - or request more salt than non diabetics - possibly for that reason to over compensate for defective pancreatic function?

Whole salt (Himalayan or Sea) with all the minerals is very necessary for our bodies and will not cause hypertension. It is the processed salt that is so harmful.

Any thing in excess is bad but everything in moderation is needed. Here in India we believe in having six tastes in each meal. Salt comes after sugar. then come sour, pungent, bitter and, astringent .

Thanks Susan. You said it all. Supermarket salt with the cute little girl under the umbrella is processed garbage but the Himalayan or sea salts are very beneficial and loaded with essential minerals. They also taste very much better.BetsySusan Siegel <ssiegel5 Sent: Wed, March 10, 2010 6:25:38 AMRe: Uhh??? prohibiting the use of salt??

There is no question as to the necessity of sodium in the diet, The pure aluminized sodium chloride is what they are now using so I don't see a problem eliminating it from the preparation of food in the restaurant. But it won't end with the passage of the law!

 

The problem with any law is whether or not it is truly enforceable. Restaurants will not produce unpalatable or bland foods because they won't sell to the general public with taste-altered, damaged palates. Chefs will then use prepackaged foods preserved with other forms of sodium such as sodium bicarbonate or MSG - or else the tast engineers will market another chemical to tickle the salt sensitive palate of the consumer. This will then become a war between the restauranteers and the state with the consumer in the middle, And, of course, we all know nobody wins a war.

 

Laws such as this one are a joke since when a political organization is pitted against a technologically supported foodservice business the government always loses and the customer always pays - with his maney and/or his health.

 

PS . restaurants will never go through the expense of using fine quality sea salts.--- On Wed, 3/10/10, Susan Siegel <ssiegel5 wrote:
