Um, are you aware that some people actually NEED a high fat diet due to a very ineffeciently high metabolism? Fat is not poison! It's actually needed to live, though in some people's cases the amount needed is MUCH smaller than what they take.
Look ABF, it's VERY stupid to be doing something like this. If someone wants to ruin their own body, let them. It's not FORCING them to be unhealthy, it's just letting them be unhealthy. Let people learn the hard way instead of badgering them with meaningless laws that take resourcse away from stuff that actually should be managed. Protecting people from OTHERS is what government is for. Protect us from ourselves? If I am stupid enough to eat a razor I deserve what happens. Allow people to live their lives, and even if their choices end up being huge mistakes, it would still have been their choice in the end! What's wrong with allowing humanity to be human?
Again though, I am a VERY freakishly skinny person who eats fatty foods all the time. I actually NEED to eat it just to keep from getting dangerously skinny. I only recently managed to break the 100 lb mark on my scale. I may be an extreme example, but my point is that fat should not be treated like cigs, something which can only be viewed as unhealthy, and thus shouldn't have similar laws.
I'll step out of this now. This was just too stupid a thing for me to stay quiet on. So so stupid, and I'd wager that it is factualy stupid and not just my opinion.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
