There are many sides to this arguement.
I agree that they should be able to put in their products whatever they wish....

HOWEVER

They need to consider that there are people out there who dont know/dont care much about trans fatty acids and the damage they do. All they care about is eating lunch. When I was on a binger; I could have cared less about all the bad crap I was ingesting. Think about McDonald's and the frivilous lawsuit brought against them by a man who claimed their food made him fat and he didnt know it would! (No comment here).

Yes they have the right to serve their famous chicken "as is" but they also have a right to provide the nutritional info for the public. I am sure it is on their website. But how many people nutrition surf before they get in the car on their lunch hour? I think what this boils down to is that the government is taking away the public's right to choose.

A while ago I found an article online about a "credit card" for school aged children. It was pre-paid by the parent. They could only purchase certain things that the parent allowed. For example; an obese child could not purchase junk food if the parent didnt allow for it. Government/schools are once again attempting to control our lives. If somebody wants to eat junk who are we to stop them?? But what we can do is alert them of the possible long term damage that it will do over a period of time. I did just read that eating just one high fat meal can do damage to your body. It's true...after being healthy for quite some time now; I can honestly say that over time you will lose your taste for fat. I had some Arby's Mozzerella Sticks the other day (way stupid I know; but I wasnt in my right mind) and I could just taste the fat they were swimming in. This time it bothered me. Forgive and forget; tomorrow is a new day. I will never do that again. But if I do; nobody has a right to stop me and nobody can stop Arby's from making them. Bottom line: Tough bill to get passed because there are so many areas to go over.
