Langston http://detailedabstractions.com/?p=427 Showing that only civilized intellectuals are needed to really screw things up, food pantries in New York are actively throwing away food donations:

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….

Some in good conscience are ignoring the law, but they know it applies to them:

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

The whole irritatingly stupid, but so not surprising thing here.
