Can't wait until they stop putting this crap in foods. No, it's not government intrusion. Well, it is, but it's the right kind. We pay the FDA to analyze the things we put in our bodies. We trust that if they find out that something is bad for us, that they'll tell us. And, if telling us doesn't help, then we should expect them to forbid it, so long as it doesn't affect us.

Frankly, if taking trans fats out of foods meant that those kinds of foods could no longer be sold, then I'd have a problem. For instance, banning 20+oz drinks means that you can no longer have a 20+oz drink. That's a bad move, because there is no alternative. But, the only thing that will change about a burger or pizza is that it'll taste better and be healthier.

NYC is insane now. I just went on a cost of living calculator and if you make $50K and live in Chicago you have to make TWICE that to have the same standard of living in Manhattan.

And Chicago ain't cheap.

Brooklyn 25% more, Queens $15K more but who wants to live in Queens...
