Seriously.

I avoid that shit by choice. Not because someone makes it law.

 

You guys know the alternatives cost just as much if not less than a penny more? I know you guys don't like the fact that the choice isn't there but the alternative isn't going to skyrocket the price.

 

It isn't about the alternatives being more or less it is about the government (at any level) dictating personal choice, if you can't see the slippery slope forming you really need to take a look at where this can lead to in time...it sets a precedent that people need to be wary of.

 

I do understand what you are saying that government should not dictate how we live or what we should eat and I agree but I'm just stating a fact to those who were complaining about the skyrocketing price or what not.

 

Actually, the alternatives will make the price skyrocket in CA (it might make the prices drop slightly everywhere else though ). That's why so many fast food restaurants are slow to adopt trans-fat free frying oils.

Trust me, I know, I'm a driver-salesman for the world's largest bakery supply company. Take our cinnamon chips for example... The old trans-fat 30# cases have been $70-80 for the last several years. The new trans-fat free went from $120/30# when they were first available a year ago to $150 now, and the bakers dont like it because it spoils faster, and turns green before it spoils. As for trans-fat free fryer shortening, nobody wants it because it's about 30% more expensive than the old stuff and it also compensates the taste of the food, and the food wont stay good as long. Seriously, we sell about 25 cubes of trans-fat shortening for every 1 cube of trans-free fryer shortening.

 

I was wondering where you, Anthony, got your facts from, from what was posted above it seems like it has already begun.

Healthier always = more expensive

 

I was referencing this article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/s...6transfat.html It was where they were making restaurants change their cooking oil away from transfats. Anyways I'm wrong, I suppose so my mistake. But if you read the article it states the change in oil for restaurants should be negligible in price.
