What th' heck do they want to do, put their own members out of business???
Good Luck trying to enforce this on the greasy spoon on the corner.
I thought liberals were about "choice"? Whoops!
F-off socialists!!!!
What in the world are saturated meats and dairy fats? I have never seen them listed on the nutritional information.
Hey, get that meat out of the water. It's getting saturated!
Michael Moore would never be able to stay in New York.
Maybe they will fine people with thick ankles, monster thighs and double orders of caboose.
Actually, Bush got the ball rolling on this one but NY is gonna screw it up big time, at least for themselves - Maybe the rest of us too, this is going to have a huge impact on McDonalds and Wendy's and all that greeezy nasty cheap stuff. Trans-fats don't really exist in nature except in a small amount in certain animal fats. They are created in a manufactured process so that they will last longer. Why? Mold doesn't even consider it food.
My dad, the avid runner/swimmer/golfer ex-army, actually got his cholesterol down about a hundred points just by cutting this one thing out of his diet.
Bush is the one that pushed through legislation that will force new food labeling to show exactly how much of this substance is in your food. It isn't in effect yet, but companies that DON'T use it have begun to voluntarily show it on their products. Off the top of my head, I am thinking about General Mills Cereals.
Ruby Tuesdays is a quality restaurant in my opinion, and they recently took the substance out of their menu. I actually like it better there now. It seems fresher, and my stomach doesn't yell at me afterwards - even if I get the spicy ribs & onion rings.
NY is just stupid. They're gonna create a mess by trying to speed up what the corporations are already doing. Bush changed things with a light touch, just by threatening to spread information - and the markets are "correcting themselves". NY, in trying to speed up the process, is only going to hike prices way up. This might even have a national effect as the companies scramble to change themselves overnight.

If I had known this animal existed, would I have moved here? Oh, I suppose I would have, because it's New York.
Imagine a time when it's illegal to do anything that some insurance company decides is too risky...what will we do then, when virtually every activity, every thought and expressed intention is regulated either by persuasion or coercion or force...
Suicides will increase, violent outbursts will increase, alcoholism and mental illness will increase, lawsuits will increase, heavy handed government will increase to try to enforce more control over people to curb the chaos...why did I get started on this?
we'd better do all we can to make sure it doesn't happen.
