#1 Ah yes, the glorious nanny state looking out for the peons who don't know better.
Tell 'em they can have your trans fats after they pry the fries from your cold, dead hands.

#4 "Labeling is as far as you want to go. You don't want to be telling people what to eat."

Oh, yes they do: they want very, VERY much to not only tell people what to eat, but to direct every other aspect of their lives as well-- not just in public places, but within the walls of their own homes, too. They want to control EVERYTHING.

You didn't really think it would stop at prohibiting smoking in restaurants, did you???

#6 Yep, the Tranzies and their blood kin the lefties are going to do something stupid, like fire on a federal fort. Bloody Kansas:Part Deux. It may take a while, but in the end large numbers WILL migrate to friendlier shores.

#9 In Europe they've just passed the Codex Alimentarius, a massive food regulation law. One of its effects will be that most vitamins, minerals & suppliments will be either completely banned or the placed in the 'by doctor's prescription only' category. There are fears that because of trade agreements between Europe & the US that such bans & regulations will be coming here soon.

Longish article about it: The Fate of Vitamins - "A low-profile organization created by the United Nations is about to ban global trade of many essential nutrientsâand there may be nothing you can do to stop it"
