Anyways, it won't be the gov. that they sue, it'll be the gov. that sues various manufacturers of food products that contained trans fat if they think they have a case on their hands.

its one thing for a company to sell arsenic as a sweetner and get a seal of approval in spite of a pile of dead bodies and everyones awareness of the dangers... but we are talking about something that no one should be eating... ever (unless its the trace amounts that occur naturally). almost all trans-fats and hydrogenate oils that are consumed come from fried and deep fried foods. we live in a county of deep fried food eating sloths and its an embarassment. people need to be held accountable. parents need to be held accountable. people who lived their whole lives as a sloppy pig, eating shit food who suddenly find their body failing in every way possible should be held accountable.
you think the government is going to sue the food processing industry for this? the same government that allows kids at schools to eat nothing but french fries and coke for breakfast and lunch? the same government that allows some schools to have a Mcdonalds inside them? thats highly doubtful.
i have a HUGE problem with people eating like shit and basically eating themselves to death and then trying to blame the government... that doesn't help the problem go away. what would help the problem go away would be the collapse of the fast food and processed foods industries... not forcing them to replace one type of useless, unhealthy, artery clogging fat that might cause cancer with another that might cause less cancer.
