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.”

Because they’re sick. They talk about the need to preserve nature constantly, it’s like a religion to them, but then they enforce the MOST unnatural thing I have ever heard of, abortion.
your assessment is about right...we need to change 2-4% of the low information minds out there, while energizing those who are higher information.
How did the folks who are alive right now, the 70-100 year olds, make it without a Barrack H. Obama?
No small task. But Reagan did it.
This will have relatively little effect on the food industry, mostly because the food manufacturers have been removing transfats from foods for at least 10 to 15 years anyway.
You're correct, and the liberal elites also remember.
That's why there will be an all out assault on Ted Cruz into 2016.
think there are 50,000 new cases of HIV in the country each year. When is gay sex going to be banned?
What scared me is it will be from both sides.
I desperately wish Carson and Huck would do the right thing and back him.
He'll probably ban homogenized milk next.
Damn homophobe.
Yep. It is all about control. If he gave a crap about Americans, he’d had the borders closed down. Now we have Arab terror cells all over the country. FUBO.
I worked with a bunch of gay guys in graphics once. One basically said he doesn’t tell his partners he is HIV positive.
He told me he goes to the park and meets a group of men and they get a hotel room and have sex (I know, it’s disgusting). He never mentioned telling them he is HIV positive. When I asked him if he did, he got all defensive.
And now they are getting dementia in their forties from the disease, regardless of treatment.
But obummer and pantsuit will never mention that.
Prison food for a prison regime.
I propose a ban on Obama toward a healthier life.
And Rapeseed oil...
Why?

Yes, but don't forget water. Just ask Governor Moonbeam.
Also, think "Chinatown".

No, the problem is that whatever gets substituted is not okay either. At this point, we hardly have any trams fats in food anymore. It doesn’t say much to say that they are banned.
Actually, once you control peoples health care, you pretty much have control of everything else in this country....see tag line.
