No Smoking, No Trans Fat
(Cleveland, Ohio) Heh.
City Council on Monday passed the first two laws in its historic "Healthy Cleveland" plan.Just marvelous. Arguably the birth home of rock and roll, representing nonconformity and youthful creativity, Cleveland is morphing towards a utopian daycare.
The new laws, which go into effect in 2013, mean restaurants and other food shops in Cleveland won't be permitted to sell foods that contain "industrially produced trans fats." If they do, they will get a warning first, and then can be fined $150 on the first offense and $250 on the second.
Similarly, Clevelanders -- who already are prohibited from smoking inside restaurants or bars -- will be further restricted from doing so in certain locations outdoors, including parks, public recreation areas and adjacent to city-owned buildings used by the public.
