This “we planted it” stuff is bogus; nobody elected, voted for, those busy bodies in New York so that they would ban trans-fats. They decided to do that, all on their own, sitting around in their little cloister and patting each other on the back. And unfortunately, now that they have exposed themselves as food fascists, and nanny-staters, there is no easy way to get rid of them.
Now, the truth in what you say is this: That more and more people want someone to mother them; the poor fatty who says “Gosh, I don’t have any will power… if only someone would stop me from eating too much.” The broke senior who says “Gosh… I can’t control my spending and I have no retirement savings; somebody should pay for me.”
Sadly, those people are allowed to vote, and sadly, this culture, embodied in the leftist-dominated media and Hollywood, encourages them to think this way.
It will ruin the country.
