California just passed a law that will ban trans-fats in restaurants.  The premise for passing the law (heart disease) is based on junk science.  Even if there was a definitive link to heart disease, whether or not I choose to eat donuts cooked in trans-fat is my business and my business alone!  I want the government to butt out of my life and butt out of my eating habits.

One of the many reasons the State of California is broke is the government doesn’t know when to stop.  Anything and everything must be regulated.  And any time you regulate something, there is a cost which drains tax money from necessary services.  California has a broken budget.  It’s not because of a shortage of taxes.  We have some of the highest tax rates in the country.  It’s because the idiot politicians think everything under the sun is their business.

I have a message for every single politician in the state, “Get your fucking hands off my donuts!”
