They certainly havn't banned sugar, have they? They havn't banned restaurants using the stuff either.
So IMO that is an invalid example.

Let's be honest, they're going to be there whether you rail against it or not.

And i'm going to rail against it regardless.

But if the government is going to be involved in the food chain, the least that they can do is ensure that there are choices beyond substances which a concensus of diaticians and scientists confirm "have no nutritional value".

This subject is beyond the purview of the gov't in my opinion. Like most roles which they've usurped themselves into.

And to those people who have medical issues, and can't find a restaurant with transfat free foods, eating the stuff is akin to eating rat poison. It's just a question of time before it kills you.

There is no right to dine out. So when you do, you are subjecting yourself to what most other people will pay for, as a restaurant is a profits-driven enterprise.
If you can't handle TFA's, either open your own restaurant, or eat at home.
BTW dude, we are all going to die regardless. Better from TFA's than a muslim shoe bomb or a shark attack, or being burned to death in a side gas tank GM truck explosion.
I love it whenever i hear of a health-nut meeting an untimely demise. It's the greatest irony out there.
