Health: A Trans Fat Free Dining Experience

NYC is proposing a prohibition on Trans Fats in its 24,000+ resturaunts and fast food joints. This could be a HUGE step into government regulation of food health. Why the physician in me applauds this potential move, the french fry lover in me is a bit more cautious. I agree we need to find healthier alternatives to fast food and maybe it'll take a bold statement like this to get it done - but I'm just concerned that such an imposing law could set a precident for other similar laws that may be seen as "out of bounds." Only time will tell!!
