New York bans trans fats

[Guest guest]

Not sure of the legal arguments but i assume the govt has the right to

limit or restrict exposure to harmful substances if it is deemed a

public health issue.

My question to this list do trans fats pose a public health concern

and warrant a prohibition? Does this esteemed list applaud this

decision, or is this just another example of unnecessary govt

intrusion into our private lives (as some claim)? Where does the

responsibility lie?

On another related issue, do you think similar advertising should be

regulated?
