On Monday Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled a new plan targeting your health -- and your taste buds.
And it could have companies cutting down a key ingredient in your meals.
New York City's new war on salt is reminiscent of its pioneer smoking ban, decision to regulate trans-fats in restaurants, and mandatory posting of calorie content. It's an ambitious initiative by our admittedly salt-aholic mayor to coax a voluntary 25 percent reduction in salt content in our food over the next five years.
Bloomberg, however, was adamant Monday, saying salt is a menace ranked with tobacco and asbestos.
The war on obesity will soon heat up in New Jersey. The Assembly Monday OK'd a bill that would require chain restaurants to provide caloric information for any food or beverage item listed on its menu. Information on saturated and trans fat, carbohydrates and sodium content would have to be provided to customers upon request.
Under the bill, any chain retail food establishment that fails to provide information would be liable for a civil penalty ranging from $50 to $100 for the first offense, and a penalty of $250 to $500 for the second or any subsequent offense.

Xotoxi - then you would agree with me that young girls should be completely informed about an abortion procedure? Wouldn't a video be helpful in the interest of "informed consent"?

They show videos of birth including C-sections in school. So I take that as a "no". Hamburgers - serious decision Abortion - no biggie
Back to topic - I have not eaten a Cinnabon since I found out the calories. I'm sure I'm not alone. This new law will destroy some of these chains. Some people may think that is in the greater good. I don't. On account of the recession and all.
This is just a small step in controlling our food supply in the near future. Heads up people.

Just because they should does not equal "there oughta be a law"
And btw - I am pro choice I just think too many girls are led to believe "its no biggie" on account of no parents informed and all.
