Re: New York City bans trans fats
[ QUOTE ]
He will say "but people LIKE refined sugar" and so thats why its unacceptable to ban it. For some reason, if a bunch of people like the product, it is unacceptable to ban it whether it is dangerous or not. Also, apparently "I like being able to choose whether I want trans-fats or not" isn't the same thing as "I like trans-fats." I'm not sure why. [/ QUOTE ] well one major difference is that sugar is a food. |

Re: New York City bans trans fats
I see, so they didn't get sick it was just unhealthy. And they didn't know about it.
Outlawing it is goung further than necessary. A law requiring the butcher to inform his customers that the meat cointains x% spoilt meat would be sufficient. |

Re: New York City bans trans fats
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] So your point is no one cares about trans fats, no one likes trans fats, PLO says there is no benefit to using trans fats....but we must ban them. [/ QUOTE ] No. I think it's wrong to ban trans fats. [/ QUOTE ] I think a reasonable response on your part now is: So really, you posted in this thread just to be a giant nit? I'm going to answer: Yes, upon reflection I think I did exactly that. I have already, during my short stay in the politics forum, developed a knee jerk negative response to anything some of the ACist posters, namely Nielso and pvn, say. Because I don't like the way they argue. I'll be more aware of that so I hopefully don't get myself into more pointless arguments. so pvn and Nielso: I'm sorry if I've been "out to get you" in my posts the last few days. |

Both sugars and fats are food. [/ QUOTE ] trans fats are not found in nature. bubbling hydrogen through oil to create a manufactured substance is not the same thing as food. |
