In NY, our mayor is a real nut, although he sometimes has good intentions. He implemented a ban on using trans fats in restaurants recently. It's not a bad idea, but it is my choice to eat what I choose to eat. I'm very uncomfortable with the government deciding on what foods I can eat.

I agree with what you are saying. I feel the same way about seat belts. There is documentation upon documentation that says seat belts save your life, but it should be my choice whether I save my life or not. Wearing a helmet on a motorcycle isn't a law, so why should they be able to fine me if I choose not to save my own life by not wearing a seatbelt. I think it's just an easy way for the state to make more money off of people.
