You can’t have fries with that…

How stupid is this? NYC wants to ban partially hydrogenated oils and trans-fats in restaurant food. Not add a warning label, ban it. But it’s perfectly ok to buy alcohol and cigarettes. Maybe if you eat huge quantities of this stuff like a lab rat then maybe it’s bad for you, but having the government ban it is ridiculous. The motive is to improve people’s health. If you’re eating at McD’s and other fast food places regularly, then not having trans-fats isn’t going to dramatically improve your health. And it’s only for NYC. You could go to McD’s in Westchester and get all the trans-fats you want. Make mine a super-size.
