I hate to keep sounding like a liberal but to remove ugly excess fat from American Life, we need to start on the far... 
right!
This is just the tip of the iceberg -- with Obamacare kicking in, the government feels totally empowered to tell us what to eat, to keep us healthy, for our own good, of course, and to reduce medical costs.
Today they are banning trans fats, tomorrow bacon, sugar, and alcohol, of course, next is rationing meat... and where will it stop?!
Statism is “the winning side of history” according to the Press dent.
Liberty is on the “losing side of history.”
Trans fat doesn’t stir much ‘nanny state’ debate
According to the left, your health care plan sucked, so for “your benefit” they got rid of it..what next, your car, the food you eat..the gun that you own..this is how a Communist country begins to form, its just happening quicker than I imagined
Salt, sugar, big-gulps, high BMI, etc.

Leaf lard rules !!!
You are absolutely correct. This is just the beginning of the MarxoFascist intention of using food as a weapon of subjugation - all under the guise of ‘health’ - which the MarxoFascists have succeeded in taking over with ObamaCare.
How do you prevent an angry people from being a threat to your seat of power?
History shows that they will use food and basic necessities as a weapon to force compliance with their rule.
Stalin wiped out 20 million in the Holdomor using similar techniques and reasoning to collectivize farms in an area he wanted to exterminate potential disobedience to his rule.
Obama is about to do the same.
Trans fats today. Salt tomorrow. Beef and animal meat next week and it will be done under the color of the Obamacare ‘law’.
Amerika 2020 in a dark alley: “Psst!!! You want some fries and a slab of bacon?”
Trying to regulate one factor in a multivariate problem as a universal panacea, is the quickest way to cause an epidemic.
Why are there trans fats? Becasue in the 90s we declared all cholesterol was bad for you, so all fully hydrogenated oils were removed. Next we knew butter and olive oil turns rancid more quickly than the trans fats.
Next, count on more food spoilage due to rancid prepared food products.
It's like health care. People won't be upset until they realize that they won't be able to buy pizzas or doughnuts any longer. By then it will be too late. It never bothers anyone until it affects them personally.
Next on Jacobson’s wish list is something that would be much harder for industry and the FDA to accomplish: reducing the salt in processed foods.
Stay out of my kitchen
Hands off my body
I’m pro choice
Boy, the nation’s libertarians will start movements and ballot measures over this, just like they did when Obama signed federal law on tobacco in 2009, it will become the major libertarian issue nationally.
New EPA Regulations to Ban Many Wood Burning Stoves

>>>I do not understand that nobody seems upset over this.
I’M upset over it. I’m under orders from my doctor to gain weight. Yet, in every supermarket there are rows and rows of “lose weight” food. I have yet to find a single product marked “gain weight.”
We’re catering to one group of people and ignoring the other as it is now.
I appreciate that people who want or need to lose weight deserve to be helped, but this latest action will put the rest of us in an impossible position weight wise.
I wasn't upset when they banned mercury from food either.
On the plus side, I've been avoiding McDonald's Chicken biscuits in the morning for several years. Every since I learned that they have 6-7 grams of Transfats. Sounds like in another year, I can start enjoying them again.
Sometimes Government does good things. This is one of them. Might they overreach and ban something based on junk science? Sure.
No government results in Somalia. Too much government results in the Soviet Union. The trick is to keep it in balance.
Time to start stockpiling, and place your goodies in a cool place—like a root cellar.
(I live in Texas-—that would have to be a mighty deep root cellar—LOL!
Leftist thought: Trans fats are unhealthy! BAN THEM ALL!
Having sex with dozens of people is unhealthy! HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHO I CAN LOVE?! WAR ON WOMEN! HOMOPHOBE!
I’m going to get in on the ground floor of the bacon blackmarket circuit. I see immense profits.
