NYC Nanny Bloomberg's War On Salt

This is incredible! I swear - it feels as if after Inauguration Day we are under attack from every nit-witted idea the liberal loons have ever contrived.

Now, the new self-appointed "Fat Czar," the Nanny of New Dork City, Michael Bloomberg, will be trying to blackmail the food industry into reducing salt content in food by 50% over the next 10 years.

From WCBS-TV
The mayor is waging a war on salt and he wants food manufacturers and restaurants to join his army … or else.

The city's plan is to get food manufacturers in the United States to agree to gradually start reducing salt content until it reaches a 50 percent cut in 10 years.

This is just Mayor Bloomberg's latest health initiative, following on the heels of a smoking ban, a ban on trans fats and forcing restaurants to post the calorie contents.

Thomas Frieden, the city's health commissioner, said he wants manufacturers and restaurants to join the war on salt voluntarily. If they don't, the city could pass legislation making it the law. More...

Everyone scoffs when some people bring up the slippery slope theory. Well, WTF is this? Not only does Nanny Bloomberg want to impose this on New Dork City - but also the rest of the US.

Where does it end? Government approved menus?
