Mass. bill would ban trans fats
Boston--Massachusetts is considering following New York City’s lead and banning restaurants from serving artery-clogging artificial trans fats — a move some lovers of greasy food are giving a thumbs-down.
State Rep. Peter J. Koutoujian, D-Waltham, co-chairman of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Public Health, filed a bill yesterday to make Massachusetts the first state to impose the ban.
“It’s basically killing people,” Koutoujian said.
Killing people? Well, we can't have that, can we? We have to ban anything that can kill people. Like trans fats. And saturated fats. And smoking. And alcohol. And cars. How about refined sugar? That's bad for you, we should ban candy and most breakfast cereals. Yeah, we can ban anything dangerous. We can create a world without risk. Without pain. Without freedom, too. But that's a small price to pay, right?
