Don't worry, be healthy

It's beginning to look like the "we are just doing what's best for you" crowd won't give up until everybody lives to be 150 years old, during which lifespan they will be carefully monitored to make sure no one is having fun, which as we all know, leads to higher expectations, which can cause stress, which is even more harmul to health than trans fats:

After two years of secret taste tests, KFC said Monday it would stop frying chicken in artery-clogging trans fats, but New York City restaurants being urged to do the same say it's not so easy.

KFC's announcement, which won praise from consumer advocates, came an hour ahead of a public hearing on a proposal that would make New York the first U.S. city to ban the unhealthy artificial fats.

Industry leaders dished up a plateful of reasons why such a plan shouldn't be adopted in the nation's restaurant capital.

The move would be a "recipe for disaster that could be devastating to New York City's restaurant industry," said E. Charles Hunt, executive vice president of the New York State Restaurant Association.
