As for the second one, sunscreen. And marine, they're not preventing you from eating trans fats. They're preventing restaurants from selling food that has it. I honestly don't see how it's different from banning ephedra.
Probably not. But again, they aren't 'forcing' anything on you. You are STILL allowed to buy foods with trans fats at the super market, you are STILL allowed to eat foods with trans fats. Restaurants just can't sell it to you.usmarine2 wrote:

We have a seatbelt law in Florida. That infringes upon my rights, their uncomfortable and I don't like wearing them, I don't want to wear them. And there hasn't always been a seatbelt law, but there is now.usmarine2 wrote:

How are they forcing you to learn how to cook? You can still go to a restaurant. There are lots of substitutes for trans-fats:usmarine2 wrote:

Huh? What does one have to do with the other? I couldn't care less if you want to eat yuorself to a heart attack. I do care however, if I have to live with your feces. kinda out of left field with this post there Turq.Turquoise wrote:

You missed the part where California has more socialized care than the nation as a whole. It makes economic sense why Californians would want to ban trans fats.usmarine2 wrote:

It's not out of left field if your health affects how much I pay for healthcare, which is the case in California. I'm not saying a ban would be good for say, Texas.lowing wrote:

I see what you're saying, but with your socialized system, what others eat directly affects how much you pay for socialized care.KILLSWITCH wrote:
