"Fat Fight Faces Foes" joke
NYC - City council lawmakers plan to introduce a bill that would ban trans-fats in city eateries. The mayor wants to change the health code as a way to banish the unhealthy fats, which are artificially created and are used to make french fries, and increase food's shelf life.
Stan Poulos, an opponent of these plans said, "The government can't tell me what to eat; it's my right to consume harmful fats, even though replacing them doesn't affect taste and could lessen my chance of heart disease."
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get home. I'm going to sit in my basement and breathe in lots of carbon monoxide. Because the last time I checked, this was still America."
Not enough votes...
