Yeah, but aren't about 3/4 of Pelicans in California? Kinda negates your government-mandated advantage.

No, most places out here stopped cooking with trans fat a couple of years ago. It tastes the same. It looks like In and Out has a couple of items that have no more than 1g trans fat.

Big deal if it's banned.

[Noah930]

I don't think In N Out uses trans fats.

edit: dave beat me to it.

Big deal if the gov't. bans anything else others like to eat, as long as it's not your favorite food. What shouldn't they be able to ban?

[Noah930]

Air cooled Porsches, for starters.

Most everyone already has stopped using trans fat here. It makes no difference.

I'm glad California doesn't have any more important problems to take care of.

Hey Matt, you realize these were passed months ago. They are only now going into effect. It's not like our state government came up with this last week.

[nynor]

people are going to have to start wearing body condoms with built in air bags to keep them safe from harm. government mandated, of course. any activity riskier than waking up will have to be performed by a licensed and registered government worker. feeding yourself and showering on one's own will be a thing of the past.

[onewhippedpuppy]

So they got that massive budget shortfall whipped?

Sorry, I just happen to think that the government has better things to do than regulate the eating habits of it's citizens.

[slodave]

No Matt, but these were thought up before things really tanked...

EDIT: This law was passed at least a year and a half ago.

So will I need to find a "dealer" to get some good biscuits and gravy during my next visit?

[slodave]

A doctors recommendation. There are plenty of dispensaries that have opened up.. Shhh...

[slodave]

I think the only places left in Cali that will be affected by this, are the little mom and pop eateries and the taco trucks. The people that eat there do need outside help to control their weight.

"Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" won't be coming to visit you in 2010.
