This is going to be fun. Go get some heavily buttered popcorn, and settle in for the show!

This will save lives, undoubtedly. However there needs to be a way to opt out, perhaps with a desclaimer.

Good thing: Increased public education as to the crap Americans are ingesting into their bodies that contribute to our health insurance nightmares.

Bad thing: Nanny state, here we come.

I'm reminded of the over-bearing teenage babysitter who tried to make me eat stuff I didn't want.

First they came for the cigarettes, I didn't care cause I don't smoke. Then they came for the trans fats, I didn't care cause I don't eat fast foods. Then they came for ...

New York City first in U.S. to ban artificial trans fats in restaurant food.

But natural trans fats are still OK?

Now if Bloomersberger would just ban sex between consenting liberals we could soon change the out look in liberal New York.

OOPS.....I forgot most liberals are same sex so no offense to conservatives who are trying to keep civilization going the Old Fashioned Way.

I am guessing there will be loopholes for enough vendors to still sell such products -- which may make it even harder for people to know whether there are consuming trans fat.

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.

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.

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.
