As if telling New Yorkers what guns they can or cannot own in addition to telling them what they own, the food police are now telling New York restauranteurs that they can no longer prepare foods they way they want.
I am all for eating smarter and better and there is no doubt trans fats are bad. that being said people have to take responsibility for themselves. It is the individuals job to decide what he wants to eat. No one makes them go to the restaurants. Besides I am sure N.Y has enough problems they could be dealing with without policing what people are eating. Next thing you know they will be searching homes to make sure no one is eating something that is on the ban list.

Maybe the name of the city should be changed from New York City to Oceania, and instead of Mayor, Michael Bloomberg would be addressed as Big Brother. Furthermore, anyone who purchases foods that contain trans fat would have to register those foods with Big Brother, for a fee of $500. However, in an effort to subvert the this fee, a trans fat black market would develop and food related crimes would begin to rise.
I guess now that they feel they are losing their fight on guns NY is going to starve us to death. As was said it is up to the person to take responsibility for his or her own actions.
