They did. I get the trans fat ban though. First of all, it's really bad for you. Secondly, it's not most people consume it knowingly like they consume soda. They don't go into a deli and say "I would like a sandwich and a glass of trans fat." They are usually the product of poor cooling methods and present in unhealthy foods.

Well that is your opinion and in this country it is legal for you to have it.

Actually I really don't care if some guy in Texas doesn't like what we do here in NYC much like you don't care what people in NYC think of what you guys do in Texas. Pretty simple logic, don't ya think.

Actually I don't really care. Heck, come here, blow all your money, and whine about everything, we have plenty of people here who do that too, you would fit right in.

I can't follow you guys anymore. People who eat fast food know it's fattening. Hell, people who eat restaurant knows it's fattening. Usually the healthy places advertise "no trans fat" the rest you have to assume it has it.

I eat what I want and I'm in great shape. The trick is everyday I wake up I do 3 sets of 50 pushups with crunches in between (no rest). Then I do 5 shoulder push ups to finish it off.

Occasionally when I'm outside, and I see something like a branch or a bar that could support me, I'll do pull ups until I can't. And that's all I do and I can eat whatever I want without gaining weight.

On the upside it gives all the competing nearby tourist areas an edge. "We'll serve your kids as many large soft drink pitchers as you want in the Catskills!" or "We have carafes available at our Long Island bars!"

Seriously, this was a mistake and I will admit I have agreed with Mayor Bloomberg on some other issues. This is not one of them.

The honest truth is I don't care what idiots think but mind deeply what intelligent people think. It's cute you think I disregard your opinion because you live in New Jersey (and poke your toe into Brooklyn).

Gotcha, you have no proof to back up your own claim.

It's technically impossible since Portland is one of the few areas that has no firearm registry whatsoever. Great city, great state
