Default Re: New York City bans trans fats

Normal oils and trans fats taste the same except that trans fats are marginally cheaper, and this is why processed foods and large chains use them. I don't see any argument as to why trans fats should be allowed to begin with, and the point I made earlier in the thread is that it's painstakingly difficult to ensure that you aren't ingesting this stuff because products with it don't advertise it.

So if you want to go through the ingredients list for every single thing you order, then great. I just don't see the need for this stuff to begin with.

I open a large restaurant chain tomorrow and I put arsenic in the lasagna, yet don't advertise it. I'll list it in the ingredients if a consumer were to ask otherwise it's rather subtle. You come in with your family, and your daughter orders the lasagna and then gets sick and dies.

Who's responsible?

Obviously your dead daughter is at fault by being an irresponsible consumer by not asking the waiter if there was indeed arsenic present in the lasagna. </font>
