Eat Yourself Fitter

Millions of Pony Pals™ will open their newspapers this morning and see an ad which looks a lot like this:



And who is this Center for Consumer Freedom? Their web site describes them thusly:
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.
Oh, I get it: The group telling us that Americans' weight problems are overstated is composed of junk food manufacturers and multinational fast food conglomerates. They care about me!

Ugh, these are the same whores who ran the "Confused about Mad Cow?" propaganda last year.

their basic mission seems to be the elimination of all regulation of, well, everything.

What we need after making a prohibition on trans fats is to have forced exercise every day at a government gym...

Shouldn't people have a choice of what they want to eat? They obviously don't want the elimination of all regulation. They just don't want idiots to start banning all foods that aren't healthy.
If NY was just forcing the businesses to say when the item has trans fats in it, they'd be ok with it, but no, they're completely banning it.

The nanny State we live in is ridiculous. When will people learn that the nanny state is an insult to our dignity?
