As I've noted previously, the Left are entirely at ease imposing their agendas on others. Miss Whisperer is all a-twitter at the prospect.

I've not eaten transfats for five years.
They should just eliminate "trans" from the equation, get to the chase, and ban fatties from restaurants.

Agree with Mr. Daniel on the banning fatties from restaurants.

I heard France will do something similar soon.
