They're banning fat trannies?

No, but NYC has banned trans fats. There's been a lot of hullabaloo around the decision, and I think it will continue to be a much debated topic in the news for some time to come. My friend David, who is writing his dissertation on trans fats and the social implications of designating substances as "risky", has an online article you should check out if you want more info about the topic. He is one smart, zero trans fat, cookie. [Ironically, he also has an article on trannies.]
