New York Bill Would Ban Chefs' Use of Salt

I thought it had to be an article in The Onion or an early April Fool's joke, but a little research verified it. There is actually a New York Assemblyman (Felix Ortiz of Brooklyn) who thinks his job is to institute the salt police in New York. His bill A10129 bans the use of salt in restaurant kitchens and imposes a fine of $1,000 for each violation. Add a shake of salt to the salad dressing and you violate the law! Off to the salt mines with you.

This solves the mystery of who was behind the creation of the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld. He had nothing on this lunatic assemblyman. Let's see: women can choose to kill their children, but a restaurant can't choose to sprinkle salt in the soup.

People have joked for years about the government making Big Macs and other fast food illegal. Ortiz is one government busybody who wants to do it. This gives new meaning to the expression, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." 

Two other foolish assemblymen joined in the silly salt shaker shenanigans. Now let's see if an assembly committee will be dumb enough to report this bill out. It deserves a quick death and these three pols should be ridiculed and sent home in the next election.

What goofy laws have been proposed in your state?
