Ridiculous move by government. I’ve eaten very low carb since March of 2009 — against the bad and unscientific advice by government (to eat a high-carb, lowfat — and unhealthy!) diet. Eating against the government’s unscientific, bad advice, I have the health stats of an elite athlete — while spending much of the day in a chair, weeping over a keyboard (uh, writing). If I decide to have a cookie with trans fat in it at a party, it’s none of the government’s damn business. Or should be none of the government’s damn business.

What is the FDA’s authority for banning a food that is safe in moderate quantities? Is this another example of Chevron deference run amok? And if so, just how far does administrative law-making have to go before SCOTUS says, enough!, and re-visits Chevron.
