Why I want trans fats to be banned

People who oppose banning trans fats say that people should have the right to make their own choices to eat what they want.

That's exactly why I want them ban trans fats, so I can eat what I want.

I want to eat donuts. I don't want to eat trans fats. If they ban trans fats, donut-makers will be forced to find some alternative and I'll be able to enjoy donuts. If they don't ban trans fats, they'll keep making donuts with trans fats.

Alternative: allow products with trans fats to be sold ONLY if similar products without trans fats are sold alongside.
