This really comes down to a question of individual business rights. Should a state/city government be allowed to ban ingredients from a private business'es menu? I have to say I cannot condone more government interaction in everyday affairs. I wish that they could come up with another way, such as making these business' that do use trans fat post a warning in their restaurant. Once the government starts banning things, they don't tend to stop. Who's to say that sushi, which can be deadly, won't be banned next. Or salt, or MSG for that matter. It's silly really that the city/state government wants to get into the business of regulating ingredients. Talk about an overall waste of taxpayer money.

I heard that on the news too. I always thought of New York as a place to get greasy pizza, and steak and cheese sandwiches on the street. I'm sure their are plenty of Trans Fats in those 2 items. Or the famous Hot Dogs. I'm sure that it will be a healthier choice for people, but that's probably why they eat the foods they do anyway, for the taste.

YES. It's not about regulating what you can and can't eat. It's about giving people that want to eat reasonably healthy and eat out, a choice. Otherwise, all these restuarants will continue to get away with serving CRAP made with trans fat oils. I want to enjoy french fries too, just not some that have been fried in man-made oil. They can use substitutes that are healthier and taste the SAME. It's unnecessary what they're doing.

I think it was a big mistake. I keep hearing news stories about how now everything is healthy, and they're showing fast food places deep-frying things. People are being misled into thinking that now that a different type of fat is being used, subsisting on a diet of deep-fried junk food is actually healthy. I find the whole approach very paternalistic and annoying.

Read the news please. Don't just ask the question. MA. and CT and the city of Chicago to name a few. Also, Star Bucks, KFC, Wendys, Royal Caribbean, Loews Hotels, and A&W have all removed or are in the process of removing trans fat from their products.

No, because it's not right to take away the choice of how we eat. It's bad enough that they are trying to take away our right to smoke.
