trans fats - get rid of em, says Governor Paterson

If Governor Paterson is successful in banning trans fats from NYC restaurants, take a look at the fast food chains that will be affected:

Goodbye belly bombers and DQ!

Think they could substitute some other fat instead of the solid ones - or is this too much government intervention into everyday life?

Oh, God! This is ridiculous! Let people eat what they want and take responsibility for their own darn health. It's like the calorie postings at Starbucks - they absolutely ruin my day. Now, I eat healthily most of the time, enjoy a healthy Mediterranean diet, but now and again I want a brownie without the enormous YOU MUST FEEL GUILTY sign posted to the price tag. Granted, the number shouldn't make me feel more or less guilty - and yes, I should be an Informed Eater - but that doesn't mean it ain't a real killjoy!

Hasn't Governor Patterson recently advocated a tax on cigarettes and sugary drinks as well in his recent budget speech?.http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/19/news/economy/New_York_budget_deficit/index.htm?hpt=Sbin.
I think I quite like all the nutrition information that chain restaurants are now forced to provide it scares me into making the 'right' choice.
