New York Trans-Fat Ban Kicks in Full Gear Tomorrow
Trans fats are a health issue, but banning them is silly. Banning them isn't like banning smoking, which was done to protect employees and others impacted by second-hand smoke. Your neighbor at the next table gets no harmful runoff from your table if you order a trans fat laden dish. A better comparison would be banning the sale of trans fats to anyone under 18, ala cigarettes, which would prevent minors from being exposed to a health risk while allowing adults to make a harmful choice if they choose.
