That is an excellent question, and we will have to find out. I am inclined to say NO it is not constitutional. However, the Supreme Court might have something else to say about it. I personally think it interferes with liberty, is absolutely unnecessary, and encroaches upon my personal rights.

Under the Constitution it is not illegal to bar trans fat diet from ones home or office... but it could be in the States Consitutions. Or it can be illegal if the States Laws change and make it illegal.

Our congress has never seen fit to limit themselves on what they can impose on us. It just has to hit the right political buttons.
An example being forcing motorcycle riders to wear helmits, but not taking action about drinking and driving (our legislators drink, but don't ride MC's); and New York banning trans fats; and some cities banning smoking even on the sidewalks and in homes.

According to NY, no. I'm still waiting on that one. I just wonder if the government has stretched its powers to extend to what we eat. I know that particular right is not listed in the original constitution.
