Does anyone else feel that laws in some cities making trans fats illegal is going too far?

Asked by hookecho (958points) August 29th, 2009

I have no problem with mandatory labeling of foods containing trans fats, but I really find it insulting and disturbing that some cities have made it illegal for restaurants to sell food containing trans fats.

In my view, by doing this, they are basically telling us that we’re too stupid to eat properly. My view is that someone who wants to eat foods containing trans fats should be able to make that choice.

I find it scary because if the government is telling us what we can and can’t eat, is one small step but a step none the less towards being told how to think and feel.
