Basically, Ney York wants to ban the use of Trans-fats in returaunts. This is even more retarded than the smoking ban. Whether or not the trans fats are bad for you shouldn't even be an issue, it's whether the government ought to be able to dictate behavior like this.

While I'm definitely not a proponent of gubmint telling me everything I can and cannot do... I do feel something really needs to be done about it.
Whether tobacco or trans-fat, it affects you and me. In the wallet. Even if it doesn't pass into law... I'm hoping at the very least it starts pressing the public to demand restaurants volunarily swap it out. My health insurance premiums are frikken ridiculous. And I'd bet a major contributor of the high costs are all the unhealthy (by lifestyle) folks and their subsequent problems and expense. If you aren't paying health insurance premiums right now, my take on it means nothing to you. I personally feel smokers and the obese (and lawyers - sorry Rambino  ) are much of the reason why I'm paying so much. And as of 2007, my rates go up another 33%. Ridiculous.
If not passed as a law, at the very least use it as a platform for [forced via public pressure] voluntary measures. |

Actually... I'd like one step beyond that. While I do like the freedom of choice... if you leave it up to Joe [Ignorant] Public, it'll never get done. It's a non-issue to Joe Public. Beyond simply choosing not to purchase from a restaurant... I'd prefer to see public pressure make those restaurants CHANGE. So not a simple decision process of eat or not eat... a pro-active movement to remove the trans-fat, without having an actual law dictate it. Mind you... this is not a matter of taking food off the market. It's simply changing an ingredient. You'd still get your fatty foods... they just would have a different fat content. You and I would still get our beloved fries and deep battered [fill in blank] |

More to what you just said, then why not ban all food that is fattening/non healthy, and enforce subsistence diets? Edited by BARREL BREAK - 27 September 2006 at 10:59pm |

Why
not ban all fattening food? beacause its not possible. We would be
eatting salad all damn day. What im saying is its not a bad idea to try
and make fast food a little bit more healthier since so many people eat
it so often.
And any age person can buy fast food. Little kids eat happy means and stuff, starting young on that fat. Atleast with tobacco and alcohol you have to legally wait til a certain age to use/purchase. Edited by Pate - 27 September 2006 at 11:02pm |
