NYC tries to ban trans fat

I understand your arguement but then at what point does it stop? Im saying if you keep making laws like this then eventually the government will get closer and closer to dictating everything we do because they think its the best. Why doesn't the goverment just start telling us what we are allowed to eat and when we can eat it and make everyone go to the gym 3 times a week or you are fined? Sure it would probably be healthier but if I want to sit on my couch, get fat and take the risk of having a heart attack thats my choice. As long as it isn't infringing on other peoples rights then I think it's an individual choice.

technically, the slippery slope argument is a fallacy, but with governments, it's still something you have to consider.
