Americans - Making problems about everything.
Oh noes, we never actually eat trans-fats but I will sure as hell protest against the system to keep it legal.
California has skinny people as is. How about we get our governor to ban trans fat in the state of [B]Texas[/B] instead?

Nationwide.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;19419033]Nationwide.[/QUOTE]
Globally would be preferred.
[QUOTE=sltungle;19419061]Globally would be preferred.[/QUOTE]
I agree.
doughnuts with trans fats will be fucking illegal in restaurants

Sir, you are being arrested for illegal possession of a doughnut.
here I was thinking it had something to do with transexuality, having only seen the "trans..." in the title
I was quite relieved that this was not the case
We'll have the donut trade. Then again we could probably have donututory neglect.

Surprisingly I'm listening to Google Me out of boredom and they're talking about one dude who's a tranny chaser.

donuts taste like shit unless they are cooked in good oil so nothing to worry about dear.
plus are there any restaurants that serve donuts?

I think restaurants means all places that sell food to be eaten inside the store, including fast food, doughnut places (Krispy Kreme for example.)
I'm sure they already use good oil, you don't need trans-fat to make donuts.
I read the title and immediately checked the bag of gummy Life Savers I was chomping on to see if they had trans fats.

yeah dude obviously
check the soda too obviously the soda might have fat too
Pay the coppers to keep your donuts. Donututory neglect!!
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19415574]maybe i should move to california and smuggle trans fat for a living, being in America, i'll be rich in no time.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps. Tell me why you should.
Its pretty clear that too much trans fat is a bad thing. However this law is stupid and pointless, if i feel like eating food loaded with trans fat until i puke who's to tell me I cant. Soon the government is going to start regulating every little thing banning whatever they don't like and people will just sit and let it happen. fascist state anyone?
This reminds me of Denis Leary's quote from Demolition Man.
"According to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal?

the world unfortunately doesn't work like that
if it did everyone would have healthcare, be smart, and have AIDS
[QUOTE=Aurora93;19415841]So if one trans fat molecule gets in the restaurant, the restaurant is now illegal[/QUOTE]
You fucking guy, of course it is.
You can still buy packaged foods packed with trans fats. You just can't get it at a restaurant. I don't think this is such a big deal.

I see nothing wrong with that.

To me anyway its not the banning of trans fat because i try to avoid eating it as much as i can. Its just the point of the matter. Soon the government is just going to start banning everything they don't like until the people are great little clones doing as they are told by the fuhrer, sorry president
This will save lives.
[QUOTE=Ted Gills;19420517]This will save lives.[/QUOTE]
Who's life? If it gets to the point where your so fat that you have to blame it McDonald's for giving you too much trans fat that's a problem for the person. the same issue with something like smoking. people aren't forced to smoke its a choice and it has a risk, people know the risk and chose to take it anyway. its their personal choice we don't have to accept it but we should honor it.
I live in california, what does restaurants pertain to?
Like sit down, fast food or what.
Since nutritionists recommend you consume no more than 1g of trans fat per day, anything that limits it is a good thing.
Although I do find it kind of ironic that trans fats got banned before cigarettes were. Goes to show the power of the corporate lobby, I guess.

Interesting explanation. Aren't all thing nutritionists recommend me consume no more than 1g of trans fat per day anything that limits it? Oh. Should I know it is? What kind of food do you like?
I'm actually all for this. Just as long as they don't start taking all my snacks away and force me to turn into a vegetarian.
I rather put a bullet in my head when that happens.

"It's a matter of personal choice!"[/QUOTE]
in case you guys have no idea what this is, this was Sinclair's report of the food company which wasn't regulated by the government. Meaning, this was before the FDA, and was the reason for it's creation. It's also a pretty good story.
Meat companies killed [b]any[/b] cows, sick, pregnant, or whatever, then sold them indiscriminately. Since they didn't give shit about meat security, rats and mouses freely ran and ate meat at the first opportunity, and these guy shit a lot. So what did the meat workers do? They just lazily swiped it off without caring any remaining shit in the meat. That's right, back in the 1900's, you were eating a diseased ham covered in rat shit, and you didn't know it. All because capitalism was on the boom and anything seen as "regulation" was called un-American, government oppression, and blasted upon.
[b]""There would be meat stored in great piles in rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it. It was too dark in these storage places to see well, but a man could run his a hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats. These rats were nuisances, and the packers would put poisoned bread out for them; they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together."[/b]
obvious to say, uncle roosevelt got very mad.
[QUOTE=Orsenfelt;19417156]If the food, the clothes and the gas all kill you then yes, they should tell you not to use them.
People only have enough mental capacity for their own lives, so they entrust the government to discover and protect them against harmful things. Wether that be terrorists, trans fats, carbon monoxide or killer short-shorts.[/QUOTE]
There's a strict difference between [i]telling[/i] you what's bad for you and [i]forcing[/i] you to not use what's bad for you. Maybe the government should just ban cigarettes. They're bad for you too.

I'm so damn glad I live in these times now, although the food is unhealthy as fuck, it's not THAT bad anymore.
It does disgust me with all the fake shit put in fastfood though.
