I applaud this move. (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/26/us/26fats.html?em&ex=1217131200&en=177d2d602bc884b7&ei=5087%0A) It's amazing that poisons like trans fats are legal in most places, while beneficial things like marijuana are illegal. I expect to see the rest of the nation follow suit. An especially proud day for America's greatest state.

First Im going to say that law is disgusting.
Another law by the government designed to protect us from ourselves.
I could see forcing establishments to list ingredients including trans fat.
then the cusumer can decide if they want ot eat it or not.
But telling a business how to run is business?
I dont think so.
As for this countries greatest state.
I certainly hope that was tongue in cheek sarcasm.
If not.
Well I'll just sit back. eat some popcorn and watch the show as they tell you all about the "Kalifonia" LOL
-
so, how fat you are?
-
Geesh....freakin liberals.
They don't like the govt taping foreign conversations to fight the war on terror but they LOVE the same govt that they don't trust with their privacy to tell them what to eat and how it should be cooked.
Yes if Kalifornia had it's way it'd be susi and tofu for everyone. You can wash that down with some organic soy milk and an urbal tea while you smoke your joint!
freakin amazing.
PS I don't trust my govt to decide either example I gave in the comparison

You mean the state that allowed an Illegal to kill a Man and his two sons to NO punishment to the guy who did it?
P.S. I know all about marijuana, it's not as bad for you as cigarettes, but it frys your brain cells. My friend who does it cant concentrate on one thing at a time now... :lol
-
How long before they make sugar or caffeine illegal?
-

No no... poor Edwin Ramos did not - I REPEAT - DID NOT kill those people.
His Evil AK-47 "Assault Weapon" did.
The weapon has been apprehended and will be punished - Ramos will be freed immediately!

America is rapidly turning into a Nanny State.
-
I will find one thing incredibly amusing as I lead the revolution.
In it, I will forever ban anyone who is or ever has worked in government from ever again working in the government.
They will squirm more than the welfare "Blackholes" (news topical pun fully intended) who get their free money turned off.
-
Dred,
I doubt he was being sarcastic about kaliphornia. Check out his profile.
-
They still allow tobacco and alcohol use? Seems kinda hypocritical to me. Kalifornia leads the country alright, but nowhere I want to go.

Folks wake up it isn't the transfat that is doing it to us. Look a little more closely at the items in your soft drinks and in the bread you buy at the grocery store...HFCS aka High Fructose Corn Syrup. That stuff turns off receptors in your chemical balances that tell you when you are full and have had enough. Sure you can control it but when you see big Bertha and Monster Jimmy sitting down at a 4 top table in Golden Corral and you wonder why they need 6 chairs to hold all that bellybutton just remember HFCS. Stop going to places like McDonalds and other fast food restaurants and you will understand that you can eat just about anything in smaller portions and feel better as well.

Energy taken in needs to be spent, or it ends up in storage.. And another thing that's really common nowadays is the apetizing chemicals. They'll make people not paying attention crave for something as nutritionaly useless as 100% synthetic ketchup.

i had a good 20 servings of trans fats today yum!

im in cali... and i personally think, make foods wit watever u want.... its our choice to eat wat they make, we can say no.. just like drugs ! :D

You know, the most ironic part of this attempt at social engineering, is that it will have the OPPOSITE effect of the supposed goal.
The Average Person on the street will see Fast Food as HEALTHIER, and will thus eat it more often.
BTW, I believe that is the goal of the legislators - they've been lobbied from the inside by the fast food corporations to pass this law - with the end result being a way to "Heathify" their image and increase consumption.
-

Ahh...but tobacco and alcohol generate excise tax revenue....much harder to set up such a tax on unhealthy food...but I'm sure that's coming
-
I can't wait for the day California breaks off and falls into the sea. That goes for New York too. :salute
-
We should see if China would take California in trade to wipe our debt out with them. Would be a win-win. Its going to fall into the ocean one day anyway. Let's make the deal while we can!

Will California outlaw Rib Eye steaks next?

No need to destroy a couple of perfectly beautiful states... Just make the cities vanish. The folks out in the 'counties' usually have their heads screwed on right.
-

Ribeyes are good natural food. Trans fats are synthetic poisons created by industry to increase profits. If you can't see the difference...

Maybe you should read rule #6...
I live in a country where I am free to eat whatever I choose. It is not the business of the gubment or even you to save me from myself. The whole idea of outlawing foods because they are not healthy is completely outragious and is the epidomy of slippery slope. The notion of not letting them get their foot in the door is completely lost on you, isn't it?
-

California isn't leading the way. It's holding the nation back. California is known as Dumb****istan in Texas, crime flourishes in California and for being "efficient" go look at LA during the day. If your white, go through the wrong part of town at 10PM, see what happens. IF California is leading the nation, it's leading it in shootings, deaths, and pollution.

My God but some of you people are incredible in your logic!
We have banned DDT, Sacharin, lead in paint, asbestos in ceiling tiles, red dye no. 5 and just about a thousand other things when it is discovered they can damage our health- What is the difference with trans fat? I'ts been demonstrated to be unhealthy- Do you think the Government should ignore proven health hazards like trans fats? LOL, not having asbestos ceiling tiles in our children's classrooms makes us a Nanny State???? Or not being able to paint toys with lead based paint??
DAMN duh Libruls, man! I wanna drink trans fat and spray DDT on my strawberries but the nasty old Libruls won't let me!! :(
Too much...Some of you need to go far a walk, get from fresh air. Breathing that lead based paint in your mother's basement all day can't be healthy. :noid
-
The Sun causes cancer so it should be illegal to go for a walk outside. Also, you might trip and hit your head on the curb, the State shouldn't allow that to happen either.
-
Nothing better then three meals a day at McDonalds four joints a day and playing couch potato for a marathon session of Maddon on Playstation for three months straight to let the trans fat soak in deep deep deep.

I can see the headlines now.
FLASH!! DARWIN DEFEATED!
HUMAN RACE DESTROYS SELF BY SAVING STUPID PEOPLE

yup.
That sheit turns into fat faster than regular white sugar too. Goes straight into your reserves.
-

We have banned DDT
Actually, the DDT ban killed tens of millions. It was based on junk science to begin with and took decades to repeal.
Congratulations. In your efforts to save teh little childrens, you helped kill more people than Pol Pot.

are eggs good or bad for us this week?

Pretty please... post this at flamewarriors.net!!! I thought the 30's and 40's were a big enough lesson about fascism and "government knows whats best for you". I say truth in labeling is good enough, give me the numbers, i'll decide for myself.

But the question is will the number say anything to the poor and less edumucated people (the usual eaters of fast/junkfood)

Easy answer.
Eating at a place that uses trans fat is an individual choice.
Not something that is forced upon you.
You didnt have a choice with DDT, or any of the others. Whatever company decided they were going to use it and that was that.
Here you have a personal choice to eat there or not.
If you dont want to eat trans fat.
Dont eat at a place that uses it.
Just like whats on TV or the radio. If you dont like whats on. You change the station.
You can choose for yourself.
You dont need the government ot choose for you.
-

Eggs are OK unless they're cooked in transfat. Anyway you guys should love Arnold- he wants to roll back California's minimum wage to the federal level.
-
Eggs are always OK if you're willing to jiggle your fat bellybutton around a bit in the name of exercise.
Fixed for you.

So if a company started selling donuts with, say, arsenic in them, you'd be cool with that?
-

People should be free to choose, even if that choice is one of which poison to take... No matter how you spin it, robbing them of the ability to decide is an act of governmental control.
Tax the restaurants that use it, raise the prices of the food to offset the rise in cost of healthcare, but don't make the decision for the people...A couple steps down the line you'll be making posts about how great it is that CA finally illegalized cars that can go over 65 MPH.
Then again, finding new and exciting shortcuts to free thought is what the 'greatest state' seems to be all about these days, so carry on.
-
Kind of a leap there isn't it? Arsenic will kill you immediately and is a known poison, trans fat wont and isn't. I'll even be willing to prove that. You take a tablespoon of arsenic and drink it and I'll drink a tablespoon of trans fat. Any takers on who will and wont be going to the hospital?
Thanks for playing and try again some other time when you have something a little less extreme to use as a basis of comparision.
-
So if a company started selling donuts with, say, arsenic in them, you'd be cool with that?
Sure, as long as they posted the ingredients. In minute amounts, arsenic has medicinal properties and will not kill you.
By the way, since when did trans fat kill anyone as fast as a good dosage of arsenic?
Anyone can make some wild comparisons too, but it does not validate the position. Quite the opposite. It only affirms the desperation some have to be taken care of.
-
Fixed for you.
Hey, I believe in Gov't mandated exercise programs for State and Federal workers too. As long as my tax money is spent on their health care I have a reasonable expectation they keep themselves healthy....And come to think of it that should apply to welfare recipients too. When they come to the welfare office to pick up their checks make them get on a treadmill for 20 minutes.
We've already established this precedent with seat belt and helmet laws- the Gov't. has the right to legislate your better health. See, us Liberals are kinder and gentler than the Conservatives- whereas they are Big Brother, and they're watching you, us Libs are Big Mamma, and it's for your own good.

Cigarettes have arsenic. Are you advocating the ban of cigarettes?
-
lol Kalifornia leads no one.

You do realize how loaded that question is? It's like dangling a flame in front of a moth.
Frightening how many people actually want to be under control of a government.
-
Wait till Kalifornia starts on alcohol. Alcohol kill lots of people in alot of different ways.
Its coming be ready to get those stills fired up!!
-
They will not ban smoking or alcoholic consumption as there are too many of their politicians who enjoy those things.
I would venture to say far more people have died from smoking and/or drinking than have every died from trans fat. But that's OK. Hypocrisy seems to be a staple of those who begs for government control of their lives. Maybe they should ban that first?
Quite funny watching them try to defend it though.

Dont forget we cant play tag or run around in Elementary School. And they're complaining about kid getting fat. :lol

Oh no, we allow the kids to play tag- provided nobody is "it." That would single them out.

Abortions kill a lot faster than transfats.
(LOL talk about hijacking a thread!) :aok
Seriously, legislating nutrition is completely outrageous - I mean what's next ? Special Agents coming over to supervise you eating your broccoli ?

Geeze, I think my group was the last year where I'm from.
I wanna knock the crud out of who ever made that. If their kid is that much of a wimp, he shouldn't be going to school anyways.
-

Might be an opertunity to make some money here though. All those fat people will want their transfat. Imagine what a 55 gallon drum of the stuff will go for once it's outlawed.
