Gotta Love New York

How can one not love New York, right now, for being the first city in our country to ban trans fat? Sure there will be issues like government interference, enforcement etc., but its a step in the right direction.

You see Chinese restaurants using absence of MSG as a selling feature for their food. How come no restaurant has not yet used absence of trans fat in their dishes as a selling feature.

Its estimated that we eat about 4.5 pounds of trans fat every year. Of course, folks in the food serving business love trans fat because of its long shelf life.

Hats off to New York, for now.
