John Stossel writes today in his article at RealClearPolitics:

“The food prohibitionists don’t understand that there are ways to influence people’s behavior without resorting to coercion — remember, coercion is the essence of government. The public fuss about harm from trans fats has already induced many food makers to remove them. It’s suddenly become a competitive advantage to boast that your products are trans-fat-free. Such voluntary action is the best way to move toward healthier food.”
