Garreth, not trying to attack you with this, just sticking in my rant on trans fats, do you know how fucking positively evil these trans fats are?  The problem I see is that if you want to remove them from your diet, it's only possbile if you remove restaurants from your diet completely.  These things were only made so company's could have a longer shelf for their products.  Your body doesn't break it down good so it comes with all kinds of problems.  I know someone who has to have two trans fat tumor deposits removed from his arm.  they're big distgusting looking hard nodules that turned out to be deposits of this shit  The stuff is completely not natural, not a natural occurring fat, it's manmade.  In this case the companies glommed onto something that had every benefit for their bottom line but not one benefit for the consumer.  Adonis has some crazy page that he says shows all this is a bad rap but I have a real hard time pitting that page of crap against all the bad shit pouring out on trans fats. Nasty.

Yet you have no problem when Bush wants to slowly strip americans of their civil liberties?  ::)

This trans fat ban is a bunch of bullshit and goes against the liberal philosophy and free market policy that makes America and other western countries great. This is socialism, and I have a porblem with Mayor Bloomberg for enforing this ban, the man is turning into a douchebag.

The assholes that support this ban are same one's preventing Walmart from coming to New York.  >:( They claim to do this for the benefit of the poor, when they are really just enforcing their garbage ideals while looking out the windows of their $10,000 a month park avenue apartments.

Came too late for you Garraeth. Shit man, how did you go from the guy with the hard 20" arms sitting at the table to that pic where you look like the michelin man? I am not ragging. Just wondering how a smart guy like you let himself go so bad?

Point is that I don't want the government to start regulating food I can eat. After this, it's not a far stretch for them to ban things like deep fat frying or all you can eat buffets. I'd bet that both kill far more people than transfats.

With just a bit of information, the market would have self-regulated. Why is it that all the fast food joints now have Atkins friendly foods (not that Atkins is the best or anything...just an example)? Market demand for it.

Anything the federal government gets involved with it fucks up.
