The Nanny City of New York now has decided to have a war on salt.

You do know that if you life in NYC you are not able to function on your own right?  I mean, they’ve banned trans fats, and now they are going after salt.

I feel really sorry for you people in NYC that have no common sense of your own and have to rely on the city government to tell you how to eat.  Must be sad to have this God-given brain but can’t use it!

Mayor Bloomberg, the mayor who declared war on tobacco, sugary drinks and trans fats, has identified a new public enemy — now he wants to protect New Yorkers from salt.

Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley launches a campaign today to cut New Yorkers’ sodium intake by one-fifth over five years.

“If we achieve our goal, we would talk about saving tens of thousands of lives,” Farley said, predicting that deaths from strokes and heart attacks will dramatically fall.

The City Health Department is spearheading the National Salt Reduction Initiative, which will cajole food manufacturers to voluntarily cut sodium content 20 to 25 percent by 2014.

Yes, too much salt is bad for you, but it is my choice to decide if I want too much or cut back.

Not the idiot Mayor of NYC.

For a town that is suppose to be so great – it sure sucks from my point of view!
