They're still not telling us what we can and can't eat. You can still go get fried chicken and french fries, it'll just be trans-fat free. I don't see the big deal.

:dunno:

 

Banning trans-fat itself isn't that big of a deal, but this sets precedence for other things. Think about it.

 

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

 

what baout drugs?

 

what about them?

 

government chooses what we can and cant consume

 

Are you referring to illicit drugs like cocaine, heroine and meth? They can fuck you up real quick, while trans-fat take awhile

 

ive had some alcoholic drinks that fuck you up real quick
but how bout marijuana

 

I won't go into that. I'm neither for or against it.

 

This wouldn't be the first thing that has been banned in the country, so I don't see how this case sets precedence...it has already been set previously, when the first item was ever banned for consumption.
