The Health Fascists Keep on Coming

Is anyone surprised that the NYC health fascists are once again (see here and here for previous health fascist activity) on the move seeking to ban the use of trans-fatty acids. Once they stormed the gates of liberty and banned smoking in private establishments everything became fair game. Rest assured that this is just the beginning, a logical next step is to say that if the government can ban the use of a food substance in a private business then it can ban it completely and/or file child abuse charges against parents who allow their child to eat or drink it. Just think about the government coming in to lock up or fine grandma when she makes some good ole fashioned fried chicken or pie crust with animal lard instead of a “government approved” cooking oil for the grandkids.
