Move over Al Qaeda. Step aside Hamas. Forget about it Iran. There is a new bad boy in town and the Democrats are here to protect you. Massachusetts law makers are considering a bill that will ban the use of trans-fat in restaurants (http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/12202006/massnews-ph-ma-transfat.html). I for one am relieved. Once we rid ourselves of trans-fats, we are free to continue consuming mass amounts of food, washing each cheeseburger down with a gallon of soda, with no fear of expanding our waistline. Because it is really not how much we are eating that is killing us, it is really what is in our food. Sure, we can continue eating and eating and eating, with little to no exercise, but as long as we abolish trans-fats, we are OK.
And I am glad that the government is there to look out for us and tell us what we can and can’t eat. We do not need the right to make decisions for ourselves. As long as the government is there to make these decisions for us, there is no need to take any responsibility for our own actions.
Hey, why not use our wiretapping program to spy on the Keebler Elves? While we are at it, why not round up Aunt Jemima, Colonel Sanders, and the Pillsbury Doughboy? Really, could there be any more useless piece of legislation?
Here are some sites I have come across that deal with the issue of trans-fat and government intervention into our personal lives. If I am missing something, please let me know.
