NYC to ban trans-fat. Anyone else have a problem with that?
Question:
Get rid of the addictive substances, first, then talk to me about banning hamburgers. Any comments? And please keep fat bashing to a minimum, we all know there are obese people in this world.
Answers:
Well, they want to ban MSG, Aspartame, and now trans-fat. I do believe these should be banned in public school lunches since this country has an obesity problem in children. But as far as adults, if you want to eat yourself to death, that should be your option...On the other hand, this type of eating causes serious health issues, so should this burden be put on the health care system? Or will people who eat that stuff be denied life insurance? Or a policy that has limitations? It's an interesting debate...
I think the US Government has been getting way to involved in the lives of it's citizens... it's very paternalistic and frustrating that every aspect of our lives is regulated to some degree... this is just the icing on the cake...take a look at EVERY activity you do...I doubt you'll find much that isn't regulated by the Government in someway or another...
Unfortunately, frivolous law suits and the entitlement mentality of most Americans only adds fuel to this fire...
Not sure what the solution is... how about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
You've made the points I was going to make when I read the rest of your question. Poisons of every sort are in abundance. It's up to the individual to choose how they want to kill themselves!! No matter who is getting rich selling it to you!!
