Re: New York City bans trans fats
There are very few circumstances in which you really should be eating the artificial trans fats that the ban applies to. It's slightly cheaper than regular cooking processes, and eventually the price difference will get passed on to the consumer. But if you have a vested interest in living a long healthy life, stay away.
The problem as I see it is how easy it is to get government to do something. It should be easier to talk to people and convince them you're right, which would obviously cause the manufacturer to change its practices than to go to City Hall and have them write law after law. The worst part is now, City Hall thinks it has the right to write laws against things that are unhealthy, cotton candy better watch out.
