As if we actually need more examples of big government Republicans leading the charge in building a nanny state, right?

But this story is well worth the mention…

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided he, along with the big California government, is going to choose for you what you can and cannot eat. You see, he just signed into law a bill that will ban trans fats across the entire state of California.

LOS ANGELES — California, a national trendsetter in all matters edible, became the first state to ban trans fats in restaurants when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill Friday to phase out their use.

Absolutely fantastic job, Governor. We freedom advocates are so proud of you!

Not.
