This is going to be fun. Go get some heavily buttered popcorn, and settle in for the show!

This will save lives, undoubtedly. However there needs to be a way to opt out, perhaps with a desclaimer.

Good thing: Increased public education as to the crap Americans are ingesting into their bodies that contribute to our health insurance nightmares.

Bad thing: Nanny state, here we come.

Now, I'll make it to age 45 & beyond.

Obviously, the first 44 years were just luck.

I'm reminded of the over-bearing teenage babysitter who tried to make me eat stuff I didn't want.

But natural trans fats are still OK?

Now if Bloomersberger would just ban sex between consenting liberals we could soon change the out look in liberal New York.

OOPS.....I forgot most liberals are same sex so no offense to conservatives who are trying to keep civilization going the Old Fashioned Way.

I remember years ago when people were first talking about banning smoking, I would always say: "What's next, banning fried chicken?!"

I thought that was so clearly outrageous that something like that would never happen. I was obviously very naive.

I am guessing there will be loopholes for enough vendors to still sell such products -- which may make it even harder for people to know whether there are consuming trans fat.
