That's the organization that has been pushing for transfat bans and was partly responsible for the new york ban. That's all the transfat products that have become nontransfat products. Oreos are on there, even the situation where mcdonalds said they were using a low transfat oil but actually weren't. Oh the lies!
There's also an article saying how it won't effect price or the taste of foods ;/
yea ant of course they did otherwise they could've gotten sued ;/
it's like a healthcode type thing you know these things they do so that people don't get sick but look out Geggy they are secretely taking away your ability to choose because we've always had the ability to choose what goes into what at which restaurant, am I right? Oh you mean the ability to choose restaurants oh shit i forgot that now that this transfat ban is in place we can't choose which restaurant we want man things have totally changed in the world today.
whoa whoa wait now when you read that site and scroll down it clearly states that new york city voted to have transfats removed, by a board of health no less(are they elected officials?). How is this an issue of liberty. I mean fuck there's all kinds of things the government does that I don't agree with I mean I don't have any choice in how senators vote but I don't consider that an issue of liberty. I don't know guys you were making it seem like they declared martial law to ban it or something, but it was VOTED. ISNT VOTING LIBERTY?
there's no referance for this but:
13. "There is no popular support for the proposal."
Not true. The Wall Street Journal conducted a poll. The question was: "Would you support a ban on use of trans fats in restaurants in your city?" As of October 13, 2006, 61% were in favor and 39% against. Considering that the readership of the Wall Street Journal is mostly business-supporting and conservative, this is a very encouraging result. Take note states, cities, towns and restaurants across America: the public wants this.
