The quote I find most interesting in the whole piece is this one from Del. James W. Hubbard, a Prince George's County Democrat (emphasis mine):
"The whole goal of this bill is to push a prohibition on trans fats at the state level," Hubbard said. "The general public likes to be informed about what they're eating, and it has not had implications for restaurants."Really? If people like being informed about what they eat so much why do they continue to eat at chains over neighborhood establishments or order "coffee" drinks that have as many calories as a steak dinner?
Maybe Baltimore politicians should be more concerned about the rate at which this map fills up instead of policing what goes on our plates.
