Well it is removing a harmful item from our diets. I kind of see the issue both ways though, it's like letting someone slip poison into your food for years at a time that will eventually kill you. On the other hand you should know better, but not all people read labels or know what transfats do to them. It's protecting the stupid people from being stupid and dying or becoming a burden on the system. Like in Japan men can't have a waist over 32in or something like that. Or New Zealand barring fat people form taking residency in their country because they will be a burden on their health care system. Both of these two examples did happen (older posts here). Anyways yes I see the problem of the government doing this as overstepping their bounds in a way. Oh well both sides are MEH
