NEW YORK - Three years after the city banned smoking in restaurants, health officials are talking about prohibiting something they say is almost as bad: artificial trans fatty acids.
The city health department unveiled a proposal Tuesday that would bar cooks at any of the cityâs 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that contain the artery-clogging substance, commonly listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated oil.

I know there are people on here who are vegetarian and others who are all about eating healthy, but does the government really need to get into everyone's business and tell them what they can and cannot eat? How about if it were the other way around and a bunch of fat politicians decided all the skinny people had to eat greasy cheeseburgers for a month. It's the same difference.
If we don't stop all this government controls now, I hate to see where our supposed 'freedoms' are in 10 years.
