Not to play devil's advocate, but if this did go through, the savings in health care would dwarf any salt industry hardships.[/QUOTE]
True. Because after destroying food as we know it, those retaining the will the live will be few in number.

Yea, You be surprise on how much salt is use is fast food (those will be the first to go) while some of you might be glad these places go, but I love in and out, Carl's Jr, and Taco Bueno.
Now Chinese food places would go too. Many place don't use MSG, but sub with salt. No salt? hmmm.. that is going to be tough.

Stupid-ass politician says stupid-ass things about matters he knows nothing about. News at 11.
Seriously, though, how stupid can a person get?

No soy sauce, either. No pickled ginger to go with sushi. No prepared mustard.
Heck, depending on how specific you want to get about "salt in any form" you'd have to rule out most ingredients for naturally containing sodium chloride, even vegetables. (Raw celery has almost as much sodium as canned tomato).
Saying something is one thing, that'll die down with the next news cycle. Introducing legislation on matters he knows not just nothing, but a dangerous degree of ignorance, is a whole different level of stupid.

Dude, take away my soy sauce and someone is going to get hurt
Yea. If this proposal even try in Texas, I would be up and arms about it ,but I don't live in NY. Can you imagine no BBQ sauce? (do you see how much salt is in that thing?) We are Steak and BBQ country baby. Taking away people salsa, BBQ sauce, and steak rub and you are going to get a beating
(if not shot... we do have guns here)

No one likes it when I tell them how much salt in grams is in what they're eating.
Same thing goes with hearing how much sugar and fat they're consuming in ounces
For example, friend of mine got a Double Baconator & Frosty at Wendys.
Calculated out to
3 ounces of fat (2 ounces saturated)
3 ounces of sugar
2.5 grams of salt
(1400 calories)
My mind exploded

and I bet it was DELICIOUS!
Yeah, there's that 'salt in any form' line.
It would be really hard to cook anything with that restriction. No bacon? Truly? However, the best part of the article was this: "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.
Ahem. Actually, this would mean less control...unless he means that all dishes must be prepared totally salt-free, and then all the salt gets added by the patron at the table.

Of course some dishes work better if the salt is added during cooking/preparation...
But the only way this could work is if they just make them offer to make the dishes with or without salt... kinda like when they ask you how spicy you want something to be.

He said he could barely taste the bacon, tasted like a really big fast food cheeseburger.
and was complaining about his stomach on the way home
I know only one fairy tale involving salt, which played out sorta like King Lear.
--Patrick
Eastern European, Romania/Bulgarian origin? Three princess tell their king how much they love him, two daughters tell him that they love him as much as honey and sugar, third says as much as salt. Third daughter gets "punished", becomes a serving wench and wins love of some prince and at the wedding of the two serves nothing but saltless food cooked with sugar and honey to her estranged father.
The version I read is of course much friendlier, where all the salt in the kingdom disappears when the third daughter is exiled. She discovers an underground world made of salt and returns later, disguised, with her salty treasures to a town where everyone is sick from not having any salt. And then she gets to lay the big 'I told you so' smackdown on everybody.
