In a rush to control every aspect of human life, liberals are once again imposing their will upon the masses. This time the food police are will be eliminating trans-fat from the diet of New Yorkers. That’s right, you are no longer trusted to be responsible for the foods that you select to eat.
NEW YORK (AP) – In a nation now accustomed to bans on smoking in public places, New York has planted a flag on what could be the next front in community health wars. It is becoming the first city in the country to ban all restaurants from using artificial trans fats, while requiring hundreds of eateries to post food calorie counts right on their menus.City health officials created the unprecedented new requirements Tuesday. Restaurants will get a grace period to make both changes, but by mid-2008, Dunkin’ Donuts will have to find a substitute for the 3.5 grams of trans fat in its Boston Kremes and tell customers up front that the snacks contain 240 calories.
Lovely. Remember that liberals are of superior intellect and know what is in your best interest. Trust them, they know.
