The Nanny
OP-ED
The Bluecollar Conservative Website
No this is NOT about the TV show that was produced during the late 60’s (?). This IS about the C of NY trying to legislate laws and banning Trans-fats.
Apparently the Department of Health isn’t satisfied with the results of its voluntary plan of compliance so now they are demanding that the use of oils that contain trans-fats be banned via legal decree.
Of course this is just another example of the nanny mentality of the left. The population needs to be protected, or so they claim, so WE the elite do gooders, must do our part to help them in their everyday lives. It is so tough being us…sigh.
Do they have any idea of what this will do? No of course not, but as long as they are saving people from themselves, well then it’s all justified in the end.
The fact that IF this ban becomes law, the restaurant industry and in particular the fast food industry will be forced to use other types of oil to cook their foods. On possibility would be olive oil. Do the do gooders have any idea how expensive that stuff is? No, once again, of course not, but hey, it’s for the good of the people.
Just about anyone with half a brain will realize that the use of more expensive oils will of course increase the cost of the foods being served in these eateries. It is simple Eco101, the cost of the products are passed off to the consumer. But again the do-gooders won’t care, because “it’s for the good of the people”. Who cares if it will in the end cost the people that they are so trying to help more to eat? The Librocrat elite won’t care, they can afford it!
In a simple survey conducted by moi, a respondent, one Libb Y. Rale, stated:
“It’s for their own good, to protect them you know. The common people simply cannot make these decisions for themselves, it effects their health, you know. They need to be protected from those evil fast food corporations. And of course we have to think of the children.”
I leave you with your own thoughts…
