Hooray, Pocky and Shika!

The abolition of trans-fat is sometimes connected to weight issues, too, but I'm sure you're right that this is what dragonflye heard.

Still, reducing the number of fast-food places, or rather, reducing the growth of the number of fast-food places, is hardly the same as outlawing fat.

Pocky, you are the definition of hot--a game/cartoon geek who's absolutely gorgeous. OMG. You're it. *kiss*

OK, let's try to have some information.

They are attempting to ban trans-fats statewide, as I believe NYC has done. Here's the AP story:

While there's a lot of varied opinion about this, it's clear that we would all live better lives without trans-fats, there will still be plenty of fast food, and we'll all still be able to get fat.

There have been previous threads about this, and I think a handful always turn up. I used to be a veg, but now eat a little meat.

If it means that people can be dropped from insurance rosters because of their weight, or denied treatment, as the NHS has begun to threaten, or be made illegal, as the forum thread suggests has happened in Japan, then refusal of treatment isn't a real option, is it?
