I am happy to hear that the health region is seeking the ban. Denmark has been trans fat free since 2004 and people can still enjoy their McDonalds, cookies and pastries. They just happen to be eating a healthier version.

I think the comparable to the smoking ban is poor, as we won’t be losing any foods we like to eat or the taste of it. I think a better comparable is the ban on lead in products such as paint and gasoline. The health risks are far to great, especially to children, and a viable alternative exists.
