First They Came For the Smokers.....
....and everyone said cool because everyone knows just thinking about second hand smoke can kill you. Well most everyone except me, who said gloat now fools, they're not going to stop there. And they didn't.
Trans fats, the artificial, artery-clogging substance often found in deep-fried cooking, may be the target of at least one legislator this year, as lawmakers weigh how to fight the obesity plaguing the state.
Trans fats, you know, the miracle stuff they invented to take the place of 'artery-clogging' all-natural grease & lard. It must be replaced with some new miracle stuff that will not only make you lose weight & lower your bad cholesteral, but will also make you run faster, jump higher and live longer. It even cures hoarseness.
Bans might be somewhat tolerable if they weren't based on snake-oil science and flawed studies on bodily processes that no one really understands.
Meanwhile, I'm keeping my smokes AND my lard, thanks.
