No more trans fats for you!!!

At least not in California.

Schwarzenegger Terminates Trans Fat in Calif.: "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has made it official: California will be the first trans-fat free state in the nation. All-natural palm, rice and soybean oils will soon be king, and life in the Golden State will be forever altered. The California legislature pushed the bill through last week, and Schwarzenegger signed it into law Friday, July 25. The ban will require food providers to begin phasing out trans fat oils by July 1, 2009. Thereafter, noncompliance with the ban will result in fines of up to $1,000."

[sarcasm on]

That's so friggin' awesome that some governments are willing to protect us from ourselves by telling us what we can and can't eat. I'm so glad that they're making up our own minds for us. What a relief...this whole "personal responsibility" thing was starting to wear me out.

No trans fats, but how 'bout steroid use, selling out Conservatism, overspending and destroying your states economy ?
