OCTOBER
3, 2006 --
Last
week, New York City's Department of Health& Mental Hygiene proposed
that restaurants be banned from cooking with
trans fats.
An op ed piece in The New York Times October 1 -- supporting the trans fat
ban--also noted, approvingly, that the health department called for menus at
restaurant chains to list calories with the
offerings.
Can the day be far off when New Yorkers will be instructed -- on pain of fines
-- on their daily nutritional intake, hours of sleep, and manner of exercise?
