Trans Fats

Well, the folks running the People's Republic of Ohio are at it again. And wouldn't you know it, another clown from Cincinnati is front and center. This time they're working on a effort to ban trans fat, the stuff that's bad for you but makes food taste really good. This adds to the list of things you can't do in Ohio that Gordon has been maintaining.

WBNS 10TV: An effort on the drawing board Thursday at the Ohio Statehouse could outlaw the use of trans fat when commercially preparing food.

One state lawmaker was preparing to introduce a bill that would ban the use of trans fat by restaurants. State Representative Tyrone Yates, D-Cincinnati, said his plan to ban the artery-clogging substance would force chefs to cook healthier.

As I read this I'm sucking down a cold beer and fried cheese sticks. They'll have to pry my deep fryer from my cold dead hands.

Well, who says Tyrone Yates isn't doing his job...taking on those tough trans-fat issues. Maybe he could also work on trans-fat in the way schools are funded or the trans-fat in the state's crumbling infrastructure etc.
