Hey fat boy! Step away from the french fry.

NYC Health Board Votes to Ban Trans Fats

The Board of Health voted Tuesday to make New York the nation's first city to ban artery-clogging artificial trans fats at restaurants - from the corner pizzeria to high-end bakeries.

We can all breath easier, my friends. Our handlers are continuing to save us from ourselves by banning these horrible maladies upon society. Don't worry though, the rest of our freedoms are still intact. They would never try to control what we drink, breath, read, watch, say, or hear. I would be suffering from paranoia if I thought that. Right?

Tell all the frogs you know that it's O.K. – they can go back to watching T.V.. The water is only at a simmer.
