The government is here to save us from ourselves. They know what’s best for us.
There's lots of money to be made here, and the people who stand to make it are buying the laws to give them their monopoly.
When I want the feral government to tell me what I may and may not eat, I’ll so inform it; when I want the feral government to tell me what caliber I may and may nor carry, I’ll let it know that, too.
Wasn’t trans-fat a result of the FDA’s war on real fat?
Is this different from tranny fat?
When the food industry developed this enhanced fat, the masses flocked to it because it was in convenience foods, ever mind that common sense should have told them it wasn’t natural or good-so let them go ahead and keep shoveling it in-I wouldn’t eat the crap, but that is just me-eating natural foods enables you to truly enjoy the flavors of what you eat, especially the fresh fruits.
Processed and fast food was never on the menu when I was a kid, and that porker-making food pyramid was never considered, either-I did the same with my family as an adult. None of us who eat a natural diet are overweight, but rather on the thin side. I believe natural foods and no drugs are the best way to live, but it is a choice-let everyone have their own choice, and leave them the hell alone.
JERF - Just Eat Real Food
You can’t get fired for being transexual... but I can be arrested for selling transfats.
What a world.
I think most everyone will be hard pressed to find any trans-fat items on US grocery shelves. The Trans Fat scare from years ago made manufacturers shift their fat formulations on their products.
This Ban is just feel-good PR and meaningless.
As a matter of principal, I’m against most government regulation, but clearly SOME regulation is desirable. For example, putting poison in food is something that should obviously be outlawed. And believe me, manufactured trans fat, which is a synthetic, plastic version of REAL fat is indeed a poison. Granted, it’s a SLOW poison, but it is a poison nonetheless. There’s no place for this poison in the food supply, regardless of one’s political persuasion.
If the govt really wants to prevent disease and protect health they wouldn’t promote homosexuality.
Obama can sign new federal tobacco laws, trans fats can suddenly be outlawed, but no interest from the libertarians, we all know what interests them.
The MSM always likes to pretend there is no debate on a subject, remember global warming is “settled science”.
