BETTER STARVED THAN UNHEALTHY

When a small church comes to the Bowery Mission bearing fried chicken with trans fat, unwittingly breaking the law, they’re told ‘thank you'. Then workers quietly chuck the food, mission director Tom Bastile said.... ‘It’s always hard for us to do,’ Basile said. e know we have to do it.’ “

“The city’s law banishing trans fat took effect in July 2008 and touched everyone with Health Department food licenses — including emergency food providers.”

From the comments: “Thanks for exposing this travesty. It is horrible that people should go hungry to feed the self-indulgence of government officials who think they know what's best for us.” - amphils
