NYC

Is it me, or is a bit messed up that NYC just passed legislation banning restaurants from cooking with trans-fats?
I find this to be much like that smoking bans in restaurants. Too many pompous, self-righteous people with too much time on their hands. Why don't they go somewhere useful, and do good where it's really needed? I believe that a typhoon just cruised through Asia. Maybe we could them there to aid in reconstruction...
