new york city of course has a ban on artificial transfats in restaurants. if there's success in new york and it's healthierl level? >> well, again, just because i think the market is working this out on its own. i grant that part of what has moved restaurants like mcdonald's in that direction is the fact you had the new york ban. they had to make these changes in new york city and a lot of cases they said well, it's not that difficult for us to make this move, let's make it nationally. but it looks like there are certain products, microwave popcorn, for example, where transfats seem to be actually, you know, a significant advantage in those products and that's why they're persisting there even when we've seen this overall big reduction in transfats. so i think, you know, in a lot of cases it's not that hard to not use transfats and i think the market has been pushing people in that direction with an assist from new york. but it's still a very heavy handed thing to have the fda come down and basically say everywhere, no artificial transfats. >> mike, final word. i just want to basically sum up your position
