I never realized that food could cause so much drama. While the government is trying to do the right thing, the bottom line is that it is a person's choice. If a person wants to eat french fries seven days a week, who is to stop them? Honestly, there are so many much more important issues in today's country that what people are putting in their mouths shouldn't be a top priority. Also, if food starts to become regulated, what's next? Our clothes? What school we attend? Who we marry? The government trying to regulate trans fat is not only crossing a distinct line, it is somewhat of an insult. Does the government think that American people can't choose for themselves, or that we've become so lazy as a society they must do everything for us?
Basically, the government has no right to justify something as simple as food and trans fat. Concentrate on more useful topics, and be less worried about what Americans are putting into their mouths.
