News stories I'd like to comment on

[sal_amanda]

1) Glass tables may be dangerous if you have small children.  This is news?  I would think this is common sense.  

2) There's talk of moving the Superbowl to Saturday instead of Sunday sometime in the future.  I am sooooooooooooo in support of that.  

3) I don't know how I feel about these cities calling for a ban on trans fat at restaurants.  I think most people know that they're eating crap and if they really want to, then let them.  I like to eat a little trans fat sometimes because it's tasty.  But I believe in personal responsibility and if I choose to eat crap, who are you to tell me I don't have that choice?

Did you see the one two entries ago? ;)

1) people often don't think

2) makes sense to me

3) considering what I wrote for #1, would you be willing to agree that maybe restaurants could clearly state which foods don't have trans fats?

I would absolutely agree with restaurants stating which foods have trans fat and which don't. In fact, I was going to include something about that. One way to maintain personal responsibility is to be informed on your choices. So inform me. But don't take my right to choose away. I mean, sometimes you just gotta eat something that's really, really bad for you. Plus, I don't want my Buffalo wings getting ruined.

They changed the oil here, and now it makes Andy wicked sick.

We ate somewhere recently that cooks their fries in peanut oil and it was actually quite tasty. Would suck for someone with nut allergies, though.
