Nannystate....absolutely not. Nanny state is telling you that you cant eat something you know is bad for you and if you want to kill yourself with crappy food that is your business and the government should bow out.
this goes beyond nanny state. This is tantamount to slow murder on the part of food suppliers. Someone opens a business and kills you with quick poison, you put them on trial and punish them. but someone sells you slow poison and kills you slowly with the crap and you cant put them on trial for murder. If a business wants to use it, well ok then, but at least let the people know the stuff has the transfat or whatever other crap is in it.
I personally have very bad food allergies, and I avoid restaurants like the plague anyway. the few times I do go, I do check with the management to make sure that what is harmful to me is not in the food. But food should not be sold that can do harm, without a posting being displayed to tell me what it is.
Someone posted that lard or butter was a good thing....well they are right. It is real food from real food sources....Transfat is synthetic and harmful.
I would agree with that.

The American Heart Association would disagree with you on that. Therefore, restaurants should have to reveal the amount of fats included in foods, even if they come from butter and lard. And while they are at it, they need to tell us how much sugar is included in the foods they serve.
Anti trans fat here. I prolly don't eat too many because I don't eat fast food French fries and supermarket pastries (twinkies) larded down with trans fats
