the shit is horrible for you, and also..... this will change all of the grease that is used in commercial resturants, from liquid fat shortening, and hydrogenated oils, to natural oils, and this is EXCELLENT for anyone that wants to use vegetable oil to power a car, as partially hydrogenated oil is horrible for conversions...

you still can. buy the stuff from the grocery store where it's thankfully labeled. Or make some homemade trans fats.
restaurants can't label as well as the brightly colored food products can.
I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this. here in California we sure are. (schools)

Trans fat is so bad that Zippo's can't make good biodiesel from it. The motor clogs like the arteries. That really says something 
I'm completely against trans-fats in anything edible. Basically all natural cis oils and fats coil their tail in a spiral. Trans fats however are straight as a spike. The number of atoms is similar, but its very different stuff.

Two in three Americans are fatasses. I guess people can't handle certain freedoms. Don't y'all worry, there's still plenty of ways to become a fat piece of shit if that's what you want.
Should people have the freedom to buy some McCrack when they get their Big Mac? Most would say no, because the general public -- those with self-control included -- would have to deal with the consequences of large-scale abuse of that freedom.
We'll see what happens.

So do some research! It's not my problem that you don't know what you're eating.. Frequent places that start to advertise "No trans fats used" ... like chinese places that now say "No MSG"

I did my research. I don't eat that shit. We're talking about a policy that may make a little positive change in the lives of twelve million people. Sheep. Sheep need to be outsmarted sometimes, for the greater good.
I mean, I'm not married to the idea, but I'm not about to cry Nazi about it.

Maybe instead of patching the problem, which is people are sheep... We should try to educate people to not be sheep.
If you want to tend sheep, your going to be running around forever, implementing one policy after another.
The better solution is to educate people to not be sheep.
People are still going to eat bad. Obesity will still be our biggest health concern. Banning one particular un-healthy food only attacks the symptom, not the cause.

Also, there are real problems in the world.... Like not having food.
Imagine a country so rich and so overfed that banning a food is accepted... God bless America

I agree. We should abolish these tyrannical rules about rodent fecal matter along with the Trans-fat laws.

New York is the first, no way? I thought NYC was the melting pot of the country to begin with, the city of the free and freedom in general. That is really sad, people need to have the freedom to injest, smoke or do whatever they want to do with thier bodies.

Well put, and great point.
It is situational and we skate on thin ice when we allow others to lookout for us. I'd like to see more folks with better brains, but unless you want to go preach that shit you're not going to hear the truth on tv and it is limited everywhere else.
Straight up, I'm glad they put a lock on people who kill other humans. I understand freedom, but I better understand responsibility. If someone wants to smoke dispite the evidence that it kills you, go ahead but don't bring everyone else down with you. In this case, folks is doing a good job looking out for us. Start a fucking trans fat revolution if you got a problem. best of luck

HELL YEAH! Fuck fatties, and fuck ourselves... We all love it.. It tastes good and it feels good, BUT It's not good. Now, if new york can just cut down on corrupt cops, HEAVY AIR POLLUTION, and drug and alcohol abuse, we'll be set for the reverse of apocalypse.. Oh wait.. it too late.. People will go outside the city for their fix.. Stupid law IMO... people live and people make their own choices.

damn, you beat me to mentioning this. its for the same reason it is unsuitable in a fuel tank as it is in your body, it doesnt liquify at a low enough temperature. as for the banning, maybe this is a start of a nation wide trend which will take us away from using a dangerous food product just because it is a more effective preservative.

correct. this is not a civil liberties issue. those who think it is are being hysterical and ignorant what transfats actually are. they act like NYC is banning eggs or some other food choice. they are not and will never.
transfats are not a food choice whatsoever. they are essentially a poison.
