New York wants you to eat less salt

Mayor Bloomberg wants all New Yorkers to eat less salt, thereby asking the restaurant industry to lower their salt usage. Wanna know what I think? Eat at home more! Make food yourselves! You have all the control over your diet this way. Have to eat out 3 meals a day 7 days a week? Well, besides there being much wrong with this lifestyle you also have no control over what goes into your body. However, order green salads with olive oil and vinegar, no added salt. In all the restaurants I've worked in, which tally over a dozen, any chef is willing to make a low-sodium meal upon request. Pretty soon, New Yorkers will be hand-fed tablespoons of mysterious green goo, if Bloomberg gets his way.
Stand up for yourselves and eat responsibly.
