“NEW YORK — Three years after the city banned smoking in restaurants, health officials are talking about prohibiting something they say is almost as bad: artificial trans fatty acids.

The city health department unveiled a proposal Tuesday that would bar cooks at any of the city’s 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that contain the artery-clogging substance, commonly listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated oil.”

I think I’m going to stab myself in the eye. It’s not that I’m a masochist; it’s just that I need to do something to distract me from the pain that liberals cause me. The little tiny bit of functioning grey matter that was left in New York City is obviously just a few days from completely “stroking out”. Any thoughts I ever had of living in that city (almost none) have been completely washed away in a delicious tidal wave of Cheez Whiz.

Let me see if I have this right. First they banned smoking in public places, and then they banned smoking in bars. The latter alone is crazy talk. I don’t smoke, and I would rather not be around it if given a choice. *However* smoking is completely legal, and I am not going to a bar with a health conscious mindset swirling about. Now, the Big Apple wants to take away my French (freedom) Fries?

Hey Bloomberg, you socialist in Republican clothing, why don’t you go dip your already fat head into the fryer at Krispy Kreme?

This, right here, is one of the main problems with having liberals in power. They think you are too stupid to take care of yourself. They have no faith in you. You are merely a mindless automaton who must be coddled and cared for from birth to grave. It’s gotten so bad now that they don’t even think we can feed ourselves. These people need to be stopped.

This reminds me of a conversation I had a few nights ago at the bar (Which was filled with smoke, by the way) with a very liberal, but sweet girl named Emily. Even now, I don’t know how I found a liberal who wasn’t filled with hate and rage who actually enjoyed my company, but I digress.

Anyway, Emily told me that she was a “very democratic thinker”, and that she believed that we aren’t doing enough as a society, and that most people really have no chance, the deck is stacked against them, et cetera. Most importantly, she said that all people should be “taken care of”

I reject this. In a lot of cases, “taking care” of people can breed laziness and an “entitlement” mentality. A lot of people need the occasional “hand up”, and I get that. But no one should *expect* to get their ass wiped for them, or their faces, if you want to stay within the context of eating, here.

The problem is, is that nobody seems to notice they very subtle trade-off that occurs when you allow someone to “take care of you”. You slowly lose all your rights as an individual, because you have consented to and admitted that you are too stupid to look after yourself. You are a full grown adult, and if you want to eat deep fried cheese for every meal you should be able to. Yeah, it will kill you eventually, but here’s the thing Che‘:

We’re all going to die.

I know it’s scary thought, and yes, something may change, with the way medicine has been going as of late. But, let’s be honest with ourselves, okay? I’d say that the chances of each of us taking a dirt nap at some time or another are *way* above average.

So, screw them. You’re an American, and you pay your taxes. (Especially if you live in New York.) Eat whatever hell you want. It’s surprising really. Most liberals are so sad and irritated these days, you think they’d be looking for solace in anything, even if it is a big plate of bacon-covered cheese fries. Take what you can get whenever you can get it, I say.

You know, when you really sit down and think about it, it seems to me that the most disturbing part about it is that it seems that those on the left seem to think they have the moral authority and innate wisdom to decide who they should protect, and who they shouldn’t. Or more succinctly, who should live, and who should die.

With that being said, why is it that they don’t want anyone to die by eating too many elephant ears, but its okay for a woman to go into a doctor’s office and play a little “coat-hanger piñata”?

Maybe all life isn’t sacred after all.

Oh wait. Silly me. I know what the difference is.

Babies can’t vote.
