The Transfatty Manifesto
Now that New York City has banned the use of trans fat in restaurants, I expect a fevered underground of of artery-clogging speakeasies to arise in the shadows of the city.
They will operate quietly, via secret knocks and code phrases like "Ronald McDonald sent me." Their clientele will include anybody who gags on tofu and fat-free foods. Small, fast-moving groups of people who call themselves "transfatties" will take advantage of the delicious foods now quietly moved into the city by the new networks of trans fat "mules" and dealers who smuggle "the good stuff" in from Connecticut and New Jersey.
Sharp opposition will emerge from the relentless pressures of the Food Police, led by former Vice President Al Gore, who will make a new documentary about the terrors of trans fat, "An Inconvenient Calorie."
The impact is already spreading. Already, trucks in Mexico are getting loaded with burgers, fries, cookies and all other wondrous foods, ready for a run across the border at Laredo and an easy drive until they hit New York and the grim and terrible New Prohibition.
Transfatties of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but tofu-flavored chains.

From a Jewish point of view, this is a non problem.
