Skinny laws: What do you think of NYC’s proposed ban of trans fat at restaurants?
The NYC health department unveiled a proposal on Sept. 26 that would bar cooks at any of the city’s 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that contain the artery-clogging substance, commonly listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated oil.
See http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/09/26/trans.fat.ban.ap/index.html for the full story.
It’s NOT an issue of “fat” or “skinny.” Most of Europe has banned transfats because, like a previous responder said, it’s poison to the human body. I think the US should ban it too; we’ve banned other extremely dangerous substances from going into the food supply (like one of the red dyes that was banned because it causes cancer) so how is this different? There’s no reason why a restaurant or a food manufacturer has to use chemically altered fats in their products.
