California Looks To Ban Trans Fats In Restaurants

UPDATED: 7:43 pm PDT June 8, 2007
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The California State Assembly has passed a bill to ban trans fats in all restaurants statewide.
Last year, New York City became the first city in the country with a ban on the artery-clogging fat, but now California is looking to become the first state, KSBW Action News reported.
When the author of the trans fat bill was speaking to the Assembly on Thursday, he told his colleagues that California needed the bill because it would protect consumers and make restaurant food safer.
The bill banning trans fat has made it through the state Assembly but still has a few more steps before it becomes law -- most importantly, getting past the state Senate, and then the governor's desk.

Like I've said before in this thread, the busybodies won't stop with Tobacco. I think this one failed, but I'm sure they will keep whining.

Thanks for pointing out, AGAIN, that I live in California. It's only listed in my avatar, but thanks for reminding me. The NEXT time that ANYONE says that there isn't a negative bias of Californians, I can point to this thread (as it happens every so often on the 'Planet.).
If I start a business, get a loan, create an LLC and enter a lease agreement with property owner, I am BOUND to all of the laws that exist in that city. It's not a residence. It's a building that has certain laws exclusive to that city. I just can't avoid things like business insurance, sprinkler systems, permitted HVAC system and any other items required by the city.
If the CITY requires that my establishment be non-smoking, it doesn't matter if it's a privately held business or a publicly held business. My business is not a sanctuary, immune to the laws set forth by the state and local government.
Responding to you like responding to a ten year-old who knows absolutely nothing about the law or business ownership. I'm not going to detail every facet of every topic just so that you can refute it with your inane drivel.

Yes I get it. Where we disagree is you feel the government is justified in passing that inane regulation, and I do not.
