A New York City Assemblyman wants to ban all salt from all cooking and food preparation in all New York restaurants. Not surprisingly, this has resulted in howls of anger from cooks and bakers about how the honourable member has no understanding of how food chemistry works.This episode should be preserved for all time (in brine, preferably) as a perfect example of a nanny-state politician who knows absolutely nothing about real life, yet regards himself competent to micromanage every aspect of society because he is convinced that the people are so stupid that they'd forget to breathe if the government didn't tell them to.
That Onion, what a bunch of funny guys! What, it's not the Onion? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIf people are too damned stupid to decide what they should eat, why on Earth should we listen to the politicians those same stupid people put in office?
