Brooklyn politician Felix Ortiz wants to ban the use of salt in New York restaurants.

If State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz has his way, the only salt added to your meal will come from the chef's tears.

The Brooklyn Democrat has introduced a bill that would ban the use of salt in New York restaurants - and violators would be smacked with a $1,000 fine for every salty dish.

"No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food," the bill reads.

Is the Ortiz bill designed to protect the health of New Yorkers or is it about control?

The result of a poll is shown below:
