Political Correctness Watch writes about how the New York City health department urged all city restaurants to stop serving food containing trans fats.
In a letter sent to all food suppliers in the city last week, Dr. Frieden wrote: "Consumers want healthier choices when eating out. Our campaign will increase consumer demand for meals without trans fat."
It sounds as if it's more about removing choices than providing them. If consumers really want something, they will seek it out and businesses that want to be successful will adapt to provide it. Attempting to force a change is not about what consumers want but about what the NYC Health Department wants.
