As you probably know, New York City's Mayor Bloomberg knows what's best for us. Now that he has straightened out the retail gun dealers in three states, he is going after the french-fries and doughnuts in New York City. With the assistance of the New York City Health Department, he is about to outlaw the use of trans fats in NYC restaurants. They'll still be allowed to make french-fries and doughnuts (and other good stuff), they just won't taste like french-fries and doughnuts (and other good stuff).
I'm thinking there might be a dollar to be made smuggling french-fries and doughnuts into New York City.

The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

How are they going to prevent straw purchases?
Does this mean that surrounding cities will have to ID customers making sure that they don't reside in New York City?

Pssst, hey buddy wanta buy a donut?
Is this a joke [?]
Not a Joke. I think I tend to agree with the city. Trans fat has been shown to be a major risk factor in heart disease. People will live longer and be healthier. My understanding is that they can also make the food tase good without transfat. Hell, the govt. put floride in the water so we dont look like the brits[:D],
I can see the upcoming headline... New Jersey retired Police Officer is up on charges... Smuggling dunkin' donuts across state lines. Confinscated were 3 jelly filled, two bismarks , and fourteen dozen bearclaws. Charges will include conspiracy to possibly commit murder and rape ( killing time and screwing the city ) by the NYC Police Officers involved.
The corruption will be staggering, if Dunkin donuts doesn't make their kickback payment on time someone will come around and break their crawlers.[V]
What are the cops gonna eat?
Tofu-Tony's stock just went thru the roof.

Beat me.
Yeah, so the police are gonna starve huh?

Maybe Mayor Bloomberg shoulda called them before he tried this crazy idea. The hue and cry was so loud from the public that they quickly changed their minds.
Mr Mayor, I can decide for myself what is good for me and my family. BTW: YOU are not good for the 2nd Amendment either......[:(!]
Merc
Yup...!...
smoking, fatty foods, etc.
But Dangit, the gov should not make laws about it.
For example; If queers want to do their thing in private, I say let em. Just don't bring it into public.
This is how it all starts. Like anti gun laws for the good guys.
THE MAN THAT BROUGHT DOWN KRSPY KREME WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A DEAD MAN.
Krspiy Kreme is the ckack cocane of the pastry world. If Bloomburg knowes what is good for him, he won't mess with the donuts.
They always know what is good for the other person. Just ask Bush and his idea of democracy.
Rediculous..
Geez, what do you expect? He is a REPUBLICAN, for cripes sake!

shut up you pile of horse manure.
Typical Democrat behavior. [:D]
Well you said something that I can agree with you on.I hear the feds are going to ban smoking next year , on all thier federal sites.In 2008 they'll probably ban doughnuts.In 2009 all transfats will be banned.In 2010 there will be no waring of perfume or aftershave.Whats next?Freedom is running out the door with all this republican crap going on, and no I'm not blaming Dubya, I'm blaming all you dorks that would sell your freedon for saftey.[:D][:D]
I see some mis-information here. Trans-fats are those that are oils tht have been hydrogenated to solidify them. the type of fat that they started out as isn't particularly important. With regard to making french fries and doughnuts, they can be made well and taste even better with oils that contain no trans-fats. Butter, lard, and the liquid oils such as Olive, Peanut, Canola, and so on could be used as they do not contain trans-fats; so the field is pretty open on what they can use. While not using trans-fats, some of the options would be great for taste but the level of saturated fat would go through the roof in the Mcdonald's addicts diet.
That's a great point, but what the heck does that have to do with politics?[;)]

Thats just funny![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
Here's a picture of her eating food loaded with trans-fat. I think she was practicing for a romantic evening out with Bill. [:0]
Here in Los Angeles they have banned soft drinks from schools (among other things). I fear living in a world where the government thinks it has to protect you from yourself. This is the truest form of taking away someones civil liberties.
Yea, I wonder where the ACLU is on this issue![:D]
