This transfat abolition is going to be really sad and funny at the same time… I can just see SNL or The Onion doing a parody of “bootleggers” driving barrels of the illegal oil across the Brooklyn Bridge into speakeasies.

Or as EH Munro mentioned to me, eateasies:

“Hey, kid, want some good french fries, deep fried in only the finest transfat… we got some good empanadas and banana fritters, too”

A friend sent along this candid interview with Richard Dawkins.  It is witty, clever and full of good one-liners.
