New York City has been a model to follow when it comes to health initiatives. First it was no smoking in restaurants, and then no trans fats, and now watching the salt shaker. Mayor Bloomberg announced this week that he will take on the salt enemy with restaurants. This brings me much relief. Salt is a major risk factor when it comes to heart disease and for me, I find that often, "too much salt" is my only complaint at fine NYC restaurants. This move could lead to better health in a city where many people eat nearly all of their meals out.
