In 50 years we'll be looking back going, "WHY'D WE LET THEM TAKE AWAY OUR LAST REMAINING RIGHT OF EATTING TRANSFAT"?
you guys are seriously retarded if you think the choice to eat transfat is some huge civil liberty. Grow up and vote or something you idiots. It's not even like they took away your right to get fat, they just took away the restaurants right to put transfat into their food.
Like MILLIONS OF OTHER HEALTH CODES IN THE WORLD. WHAT WE DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE COCKROACHES AND RATS IN THE KITCHEN OF THE RESTAURANT WHAT KIND OF FUCKING ATROCITY IS THIS!
Are we to assume every health code, enviromental ordinances, minimum wage and just about everything else the government does is going to take away our civil rights and lead us to nazi germany?
"I presume, then, that all that regular fatty shit is A-OK."
Regular fat is needed by the body to function, in fact if you don't eat enough (healthy) fats you can die. Transfat as we know it today is mostly a creation of humans and not needed by the body at all. I'm pretty sure fats are what helps lubricate our bodies along with alot of other things... also although they are fatty the body can digest them easily depending on how they are cooked. Many fats are actually very good for you and can alleviate many diseases.
I'd seriously like one of you to make one decent point about how eatting transfat is one of our civil liberties beyond saying something stupid like, "PART OF FREEDOM IS BEING ABLE TO MAKE BAD CHOICES". It's not like they are going to arrest you for eatting transfats.

Yea loses of personal freedoms (lol, were there even such things as "Personal freedoms" before america?) caused america to be created. Man those pilgrims were sure pissed off about not having enough transfat and shit in their food to go around. Plus I heard they were pretty pissed that the government was taking away their right to have the plague. Thank god we have the gift of aids now, the government can never take that away from us am I right.
I thought they came to america because they were being religously oppressed. OOPS! Transfat and religous oppression: Those are the same things, I forgot.

STRAIGHT UP! I bet mcdonalds will have some new Freedom Fry containing 20 grams of transfat to show how free and american we are, FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE THEIR OWN LIFE NEVAH 4gET transfat 2006.
Seriously if you guys think transfat in your food is some huge important life "choice" that's very important that you have the ability to make otherwise your rights are infringed upon than you guys are losers and i hate you. Also it shows how pathetic you are that "important choices" and "Personal freedoms" to you equate to being able to "choose" eatting transfatty food. What a fucking rebel you are, move over Johnny Yuma.
