Does a population that eats cow lungs and armadillos really care about trans-fats? I'd think the NYC Board of Health should be more concerned about live poultry sales of sick birds, along with the ungodly meats aforementioned, than what fats their up-scale restaurants are using.
To: Smogger
I think we should be notified so the market can decide.
We don't want to go back to the turn of the 1900s where it was insane as to what was being put in foods.
Colored wax passed as chocholate, coal tar for coloring, opium to get people adicted to your food product. It was not a good time.
It is not as if there are substitutes for trans fats.

The City next week will come round and file all the sharp corners off your furniture to protect you, and then charge you $85 an hour Union wage for the service you didn't want, need or ask for...

According to

44 million rats.
Yeah, I'd say that the Health Department has better things to do :)

I heard the Trans Fats, especially the ones that work on Times Square and the Port Authority, were going to file a discrimination lawsuit.

A sad day for all the uninformed health nuts who use margerine instead of butter. I wonder if this includes Bloomberg.

This is going to be fun. Go get some heavily buttered popcorn, and settle in for the show! Just make sure it's real butter or someone'll be knocking on your door.

How about a ban on the really high-risk behaviors, like unprotected sex? Oh wait, that's just discriminatory.

It is not as if there are substitutes for trans fats.Lard. But that's backwards, transfats were the substitute for that.

Why, why, why, ... this is tantamount to banning the ownership of gerbils in San Fransisco! This cannot stand! ;)

so no potato chips with anal leakage?I recommend if you see a leaking anus on your potato chip that you set it down gently and back away, just back away. And in the future use a spoon to consume your RDA of olestra.

Bloomberg is missing the boat here. He should enact a trans-fat tax of say $5.00 per meal, just like cigarettes. Just keep telling yourself "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN"

When this was first proposed I did a Google search of ethnic foods with trans fatty acids and there they were, the magic words; "Native American". Mayor Bloomberg, meet my new business partner Tonto Goldfarb.
