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.
I detoxed starting four years ago when I accepted that even a little bit of un-natural or over-processed ingredients is too much. When I first started, it was diffuicult, because so much had sneak ingredients.
It's getting better. But as far as trans-fats? They're not food, and when they're removed, nobody notices. Saying they can't be use in food is no different from saying you can't use cyanide or petroleum, for example. Next thing I'd like to see go for the same reason is high fructose corn syrup. JMHO
