What the Experts Say

"If they want to have herb-baked chicken five days a week and then fried chicken on Sunday as a treat, I don't think you should write anybody a ticket. That's called a choice."
---Dolores Reynolds, owner of Amy &Lou's (Chicago)

"Every mandate and every penny is a hardship on a restaurant. The restaurants change to their customers' needs and wants, and we don't need the government coming in and tell us what to do."
---Rich Stytzer, president of Westchester/Rockwood Chapter of NY State Restaurant Association


"The problem with this law, we're not scientists- butter tastes good. There's no doubt about it, but some cookies become hard when you use only butter, and they don't have a long shelf life."
---Joe Bianchi, owner of Polzo Pastry Shop


"Taste is the No. 1 driver of people buying food. If they bring something home and their kids won't eat is, it doesn't matter how healthy it is, they're not going to buy it again."
---Verdurin


"The sad reality is there will be restaurants that will be hurt: you mom and pop restaurants and your extreme restaurants. A lot of them cannot afford other types of oils."
---Colleen McShane, president of Illinois Restaurant Association

Your quotes are all from people with some kind of credibility, so your arguments should be very strong.

You're quotes seem to be very strong and supportive of your arguments. I do think you may have too little. I'm sure you have more from your sources and just didn't write them, don't worry I did the same thing =) haha. I think these quotes will definitely support your argument and I can't wait to see how you integrate them into your essay.
