A welcome ray of reason amidst all the MSM gloom. Good Morning America ran a segment about the proposal by NYC busybodies to ban trans-fats. The city's Health Department is holding hearings today on a proposed citywide trans-fat ban at restaurants.

At the end of the piece, which reported on various restaurant chains that have switched to other fats or are considering the move, the story was tossed back to the hosts. That's when Robin Roberts struck a blow for reason and individual freedom:

"Many people feel 'give us the information but allow us to make the decision.'"

Right on, Robin!

As Dire Straits might sing:

"I want my,
"I want my,
"I want my KFC."

Or, at least, the right to choose it without being tossed into the trans-fat hoosegow.

Aside: Matt Lauer sounded a similar pro-individual freedom note when 'Today' recently took up the topic.
