Go three days without eating, you might get a feel for what many people feel all the time. Sadly eating doesn't seem to offer much relief, but people sure eat in an attempt to get relief. This notion is not popular either.
How about going the rest of your life eating half of what you eat every day? It would be no strain on your body, in most cases, just a strain on you. And no beer! Ouch!
BTW, do you know what “trans” means? As in “transfats” ? I got to the point of looking this up, and found that it’s a term of Quantum Chemistry, referring to the symmetrical configuration of isomeric molecules. Doesn’t mean anything to you? Well, don’t let it worry your fuzzy little brain. Just believe what your masters tell you.
But honestly, it’s a very tangled web of reasoning which is distilled down to a doctrine promulgated to the populace as a list of bogeymen. Just read up on it for an hour or so on Wikipedia and give it some thought. It’s all very troubling to me.
