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.”

For HE and NOT for THEE.
LOL. Yeah.
Agreed. Remember some years ago when a substance called Olean was introduced to replace fat in snack food. I had some potato chips made with Olean. Made me violently ill.
These days I don't buy any fat-free or reduced fat products. I just eat less of the full-fat versions.
I'm old enough to remember when the House and the Senate crafted legislation.
O! to return to those halcyon days.
Stalin starved 50 million people who disagreed with him. Is Obama trying to follow in Stalin’s footsteps? Barak and Michelle sure have an unusual interest in what we eat.

Those days will return if and when there’s a Republican in the White House and the Democrats control the congress. The Dems won’t tolerate an executive running all over them like the weak and feckless Republicans do.
That might account for Obama’s dementia symptoms.
Evidently lots of Republicans like being deceived and lied to by their own party.
The big difference is millions of people can go years without the need for a doctor, myself included.
Most people have been conditioned to go to the doctor when they don’t need to. You don’t need a doctor to treat a cold.
People can’t go without food.
Health care was simply a means as a way to control the food.
It's a two way street. In the late Roman republic certain populist politicians offered a grain allowance to everyone. They won but were saddled with a constant need to keep that going forever or face uprising. The old saying about bread and circuses to keep the population content was no joke, it was literal.
Bottom line, people seem okay with increasingly oppressive boots on their necks because they don't really notice it that much. Ban this, regulate that, we still have plenty of circuses to keep us content. But if they start going hungry the game changes.
Exactly, that and EVERYTHING else we do in life.
The first thing a cult will do with a new member is control their diet, mainly the intake of animal protein.
It makes people more susceptible to ideas.
Meat eaters are more aggressive, be it people or animals. If meat eaters weren’t aggressive they wouldn’t eat.
That’s what they are doing.
They are starting the process of limiting/controlling the amount of animal protein people can consume.
You’re seeing this with school lunches.
Controlling the food supply have been a way of controlling people throughout history.
Look at North Korea. Absolute control.
Not a small task, but far more doable than the naysayers think....many of whom think it's hopeless. And Reagan actually won huge, so he changed a lot more than that...he changed a whole lot of minds. He changed say 4-5% his first election and that was up to about 9-10% his re election.
I’m expecting the next control we see in the name of “health” will be in the amount of energy consumed to control the temperature in your house.
Scientific studies will determine which temperatures are healthiest for summer and winter, not your own personal comfort.
How did the folks who are alive right now, the 70-100 year olds, make it without a Barrack H. Obama?”
They ate more of the really good stuff, butter and lard, before those fell into disfavor by food Nazis. Also, eggs with yolks.
I think there are 50,000 new cases of HIV in the country each year. When is gay sex going to be banned?
..............
When I lived in New Orleans they opened a hall honoring those who died of AIDS, so probably not.
They ate more of the really good stuff
Yep, and they stayed active and got outdoors more.
They didn’t sit around indoors all day breathing manufactured air.
Yes, but I doubt plenty of people would bother fact checking that, which is part of what’s wrong with so many people.
Obie from Nairobi is the picture of CONFUSION!!
Im willing to do whatever I can to help achieve that goal.
Ban Attack Obama’s Now!!
