Dude, think about it...no one is saying you cannot eat crap...Christ you could go to the store and buy pounds of MSG and make a milkshake, that's your right, I suppose. But things like LIMITING alcohol to adults and banning smoking in public spaces (like here in Toronto) just make common sense. ... I think that you are somehow confusing trans fat with "food". It's not. It's a synthetic man made creation.

As I suggested earlier if twinkies caused %20 of all people to loose a leg.... Because of an ingredient, you remove the ingredient from the Twinkie...NOT the Twinkie. The fact is the damage outweighs the benefits in this case. There are alternatives to this ubiquitous product that could be used instead. By your logic we'd all still be using leaded gas... because it's our RIGHT to pollute the environment more than we have to, for example.
