Basically trans fats are a slow form of low dose poison. The restaurants can still keep the same menu items, just prepare it with different ingredients that are not as terrible as shortening. I think it's good because unlike going to the grocery store where you can pick up a package and read what the ingredients are that's not the case when you order food at a restaurant. Even what seems to be the healthiest option on the menu may contain unhealthy levels of sodium, trans fat and who knows what else. I’m in favor of it.

At the same time, these ignorant fat Americans continue to poison their bodies with filth and suck up the health care monies. They have done it to themselves at this point, so I say 'outlaw the fat!'

Much like myself. I hate it that Unkie Sam feels the need to nudge his nose into our business. On the other hand, the peeps of the US just aren't taking heed to the warnings. Since the ill effects of their health are a burden on the rest of us, the tax payers and insured, I fall in the same place. The law, while it sucks, is completely necessary.
