Of course, the bill's sponsor claims it's all about "consumer choice":

Ortiz has said the salt ban would allow restaurant patrons to decide how salty they want their meals to be.

"In this way, consumers have more control over the amount of sodium they intake, and are given the option to exercise healthier diets and healthier lifestyles," Ortiz said, according to a Nation's Restaurant News report.

You're Italian, aren't you? How many delicious Italian recipes call for salt?


Its about the sodium content in American salt leading to hypertension and heart trouble. I use sea salt....no sodium.
