Can bloggers and talking heads please shut up about New York City and now Universal Studios banning trans fats?
You’d think these entities were banning butter and fat outright. Trust me, there’s plenty of lard to go around, people. Plenty of people will still have the right to clog their arteries, lower their HDL, and raise their LDL. They’ll just have to work a little harder at it.
Trans fats, you will be not be missed. No one will notice the difference. Muffins and cookies have existed for much longer than trans fats. I think we’ll survive.

My governor broke his femur. I was going to recommend that he go back on the anabolic steroids, as they help bone mass (corticosteroids hurt bone mass and cause osteoporosis), but then I saw that stomach acid reducers (proton pump inhibitors like Nexium, Protonix, and Omeprazole) can cause decreased calcium absorption. Maybe the poor guy just has bad heartburn. And that I can empathize with.
