I swear, would somebody please give New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg something useful to do... say, like keeping subway service from going to hell? In his latest assault on personal freedoms, the billionaire bully has come up with his most asinine tirade yet: He's sniffing at salt.The useless Bloomie is appalled that potato chips, turkey meatballs and chicken noodle soup are, uh, salty. Oh, no, save me! Who knew?
He's demanding that food manufacturers and restaurants reduce salt content by 50% over the next 10 years.
In the past, Nanny Bloomberg man-handled a ban on trans fat, forced restaurants to post calorie contents and banned all smoking indoors. Once again, he thinks New Yorkers are too stupid to make their own choices. Thomas Frieden, the city's health commissioner, said he wants voluntary compliance. Naturally, if that doesn't happen, Bloomberg has threatened legislation. And we all know what happens when Hizzoner wants anything passed: City Council nods in robotic unison—or else.
