[QUOTE=TH89;19415808]You don't understand. Trans-fats are banned because they're TOXIC, not just because they make you fat. And they don't affect the taste of the food, so why WOULDN'T they be banned? Do you want the choice to be fed rat poison too?[/QUOTE] King of the Hill said that trans fats make things delicious, and I've learned to trust that show.(Even though it's over :saddowns:)
In other words, serving sizes in California restaurants are going to be much smaller from here on out. California makes no sense to me. 28.5g or less of marijuana is only a $100 fine, but having 1g of trans fat in a serving of food at your restaurant could cost you $1000. They need to figure out their position on victimless crimes.

[QUOTE=KorJax;19439563]Hardly anything uses trans fats now a days anyways. There's a reason why every fucking food on earth advertises on it's packaging that it's "free of trans fats!". That's because it's hardly in ANYTHING and it's a way to get a cheap dollar from the gullible who are looking to shed some pounds.[/QUOTE] They do that because they want you to buy their products, not because they give a shit. Their marketing gets boosted because of something that didn't need to be there in the first place is now gone.
[QUOTE=Idi Amin;19439434]yes actually, I don't want the government regulating what I can put into my body. this forum is hypocritical, the majority of you drink, smoke, do cannabis (among other things) and then you see a thread about eating fatty foods and jump on this futuristic bandwagon with laser guns that you use to shoot everything that moves. alcohol is TOXIC, nicotine is TOXIC, THC-9 is TOXIC yet in those threads it's cool to support the pro status. BUT DON'T YOU EAT FATTY FOODS YOU FUCKING AMERICAN SWINE, FAT IS SHOWN TO KILL OVER THREE BILLION CHILDREN EACH DAY.[/QUOTE] Actually, I don't drink or smoke, at-all. That said, Despite it's negatives, Smoking, Drinking and Marijuana have positives. They all help alleviate stress. Also, in the case of Smoking and Drinking, are backed by massive empires with stupid amounts of money to push at lobbying. I don't see why I am responding to you anyway, you proved yourself wrong with your own post. Drinking is only allowed in isolated situations, you can reap it's relaxing benefits so long as it doesn't effect society around you. With public smoking bans slowly coming in effect it's a similar situation there. Smoking and Drinking is entrenched in our society, banning it outright would only cause chaos. Trans Fats are a result of a greedy ignorant society an offer absolutely no benefit at-all, banning it can only do good.. unless you are a butt hurt 'freedom' fighter who opposes any and all regulation what so ever by anyone other than the god you believe in. Banning trans fats doesn't affect you. You won't die of lack of trans-fat. You won't suddenly lack an essential ingredient in life. Infact you might just add a couple of years onto your life. Go preach your useless, reactionary, backward and progress-halting politics elsewhere. [editline]04:57AM[/editline] [QUOTE=KorJax;19439563]Hardly anything uses trans fats now a days anyways.

Sure it's out there but nothing really uses it anymore anyways.[/QUOTE] The fact we live in a world where in order to sell a consumed product you must advertise the fact it won't [B]kill you[/B] is absurd.
They're banning trans-fats that could potentially kill me? GOD, THEY'RE TAKING AWAY MY FREEDOM. Jesus Christ people. The government isn't out to make your life absolute shit. We're not "slipping into socialism" because of this. This is a good thing. Trans-fats aren't a type of condiment that you pick out when you get your order. It's shit that goes into your food that does absolutely nothing for you and can potentially harm you. While I don't condone drug usage, at least there are positive effects from them. Either way, drugs and trans-fats have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other and I don't understand how one can possibly bring one into a discussion about the other. The only people who are complaining about this ban are anti-regulation and are invited to move to Somalia.

Whereas, drugs give you a nice feeling, depending on the drug. Trans-fats do not benefit you in any fucking way.

I don't see how this restricts anything other than the consumption of poisonous shit

If people really, for whatever retarded reason, want to eat trans fats, they still can. They just can't serve it at restruants. There's really nothing to bitch about.
