U.S. Bans Trans Fat
By these standards, how is alcohol still legal?<p>Alcohol-Related Deaths:
Nearly 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States.<p>-<a href="http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/alcohol-facts-and-statistics" rel="nofollow">http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-con...</a><p>EDIT:
I'm not advocating that alcohol be illegal. I couldn't care less to be honest.<p>I guess my comment was more of a question of how can you ban substance "A" because "Its bad for you"; but not ban substance "B" which kills 90k people in the U.S. annually? It just seems cherry picked is all. If the gov't is going to ban bad things, how does substance "B" get a pass?
