Well, at least they're starving healthy

From the Big Apple, comes another bitter dose of nanny's medicine:
When a small church comes to the Bowery Mission bearing fried chicken with trans fat, unwittingly breaking the law, they’re told “thank you.” Then workers quietly chuck the food, mission director Tom Bastile said. [emphasis added]

“It’s always hard for us to do,” Basile said. “We know we have to do it.” ...

That's because the city's law banning trans fat applies even to food donated to food banks and soup kitchens. So that fried chicken has to go into the dumpster, rather than hungry bellies. What a waste. Tell me again how smart and compassionate the New York City elites who support and/or pass laws like this are again?
