The Obama administration is expected to all but ban trans fat in a final ruling that could drop as soon as next week, killing most uses of an ingredient that has been put in everything from frozen pizza to Reese’s Pieces but since deemed harmful to human health.
The agency may create some very limited exemptions, but the ruling could force food companies to cut trans fat use beyond the 85 percent reduction already achieved over the past decade — a key piece of the Obama administration’s broader agenda to nudge Americans toward a healthier diet.
The food industry believes low-levels of trans fats are safe. Industry leaders have banded together behind-the-scenes to craft a food additive petition that will ask FDA to allow some uses of partially hydrogenated oils, such as in the sprinkles on cupcakes, cookies and ice cream. The industry hasn’t shared details, but officials maintain the uses will represent “very limited amounts.”

Bull hockey, it's all about control and there appears to be around 50% of American sheeple that are fine with it.
Yep.
Proles can eat only Kale...
I’m afraid that number might be around 52 percent and we NEED to get at least 3 percent to change their minds. I’m hoping an exciting candidate (Cruz) can swing them our way.
I think there are 50,000 new cases of HIV in the country each year. When is gay sex going to be banned?

But genetically modified foods are a-ok. Go figure.
TRANS fat ban? I thought Obie was PRO TRANS?
Emperor Barak has issued yet another decree. Yet the Republicans in congress continue to do nothing to stop him. They barely utter a word to challenge him or even slow down his radical agenda. Remember to vote Republican in 2016. /sarc
How are they going to decide who gets the exemptions?

Pretty amazing...since we all die at some point...
Too bad those that want to die with a cupcake on their lips will be denied that pleasure...
The industry should emulate the POS O-hole... ignore the law.

Hes MACRO Micro Aggressing TransFat!!! WE CAN NOT TOLERATE this manner of ABUSE!!
Trans fat ban? Yes I absolutely agree, we need to ban fat transsexuals from the military.
Leave it to liberals to ban legal food products they deem harmful to your health yet at the same time have no issue importing foreign murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and flying them all over the country on your dime.
Obamas favorite quote “White folks greed leaves the world in need” wasn’t just seen as empty rhetoric by Obama.
The intent is to control the food supply.
Control the food and you control the people.
These liberal trans-fat-o-phobes need to be stripped of all power and run out of town on a rail.
The Obamas are also Caucaphobes- they have an irrational fear of whites.
When are they going to ban abortion. Nurture them in the womb to keep them healthy...then kill them??
Excellent point. Bit if Liberals were logical and had the capacity to reason, then they wouldn’t be Liberal to begin with.Total insanity.
