Bloomberg Seeks to Ban Smoking in Every Restaurant and Bar

Probably eliminated the Soy beans
Just wondered when you think the 'government' will mandate a minimum amount of 'physical exercise' as a way to a more healthy populace? How about 'mandating' elimination of alcohol? (ooops, never mind, we tried that once) How about 'mandating' a minimum of 8 eight hours sleep? Where does it end?
To New York voters - You voted him your Mayor so don't whine and deal with the crap HE decides is best for you.
I am so glad I was raised when I was. Guess a lot of things were wrong and bad but sometimes I feel I have lived during the best of times. The young people want their freedom but I see all these restrictions. On the other hand they will probably live to be 200 years old.
They are coming for your cheeseburgers next folks! Trans fats are bad for you no doubt, but it isn't the governments job to tell you what to eat. First they came for my Foie Gras and I did nothing, next they came for my trans fats and I did nothing, Where do you draw the line?
If this is all that Bloomie thinks he needs to do for New York City, he needs a rest cure in the looney bin!
I can't stand that little Hitler!
This has got to be the silliest thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine Rudy going after "trans fats" instead of, say, organized crime when he was mayor?
Bloomberg is such a dolt. Last time I was in NYC I was shocked at how dirty it was...dirty streets, filty subways filled with the homeless...but at least no one was smoking or eating trans fatty foods!
As consumers we are free not to eat foods with trans fats in them. I avoid trans fats, after I read how bad they were.
I don't think anyone here is defending trans fats Willams...just the ridiculousness of Bloomberg's anti-fat campaign.
Why I'm not shocked this is happening..
No...but trans-fat may be just the first thing on the list, just like assault weapons were the first thing on the list for the gun-banners. They went for them first because it was easy.
How do you feel about liberty?
Before other cities decide to regulate diets absent a safety issue, they might also consider that some of the same people now pushing for a trans fat ban once recommended the ingredient as a substitute for another health scare: saturated fats. Twenty years ago, Mr. Jacobson's CSPI launched a public relations blitz against fast food joints for using palm oil to cook fries.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
More of the ninny nannies"
Sell your stock holdings in KFC, and other fast food franchises.
The new oils they want these restaurants to serve do not have the same taste, and do not have the same shelf life. There will be more waste and lost customers in an industry that has a small net profit as it is.
I figure I have had my last bucket of KFC. I think also that the pizza industry will be the next big target. They will want some God-awful tasting cheese to be used in the future.
Sell- Sell- Sell...
To make New Yorkers safer, he should cooperate in identifying and deporting the 600,000 illegals. Enforce the law instead of making more laws.""
AMEN
Amen.
Here is an idea Mr. Mayor:
Now that you have reduced the health danger that transfats represent, reduce the taxes that were caused by transfat health risks.
I can tell you that about 35 or 40 years ago when KFC hit the NorthEast, it was so delicious it was a dream. I can still picture and taste how good it was. The current greasy trans fat version sucks.
You need to rethink whether you have such an emotional commitment to "partially hydrogenated soybean oil".
