Bans are hysterical

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Who knew hysteria could be so contagious? Who knew hysteria could be so contagious? First there's an outbreak in New York City, where the department of health and mental hygiene is poised to ban trans fat from every restaurant in the city. Now the hysteria has spread south to New Jersey, though it hasn't stopped there; regulators in cities as far away as Washington and Los Angeles have already betrayed symptoms of the condition, while Disney has vowed to remove the fat from all its theme parks's foods by next year.

Government is pretty amazing.
