Uh, I think most people, if not all, know that transfats are bad to eat. And I believe the food labeling laws already require the transfats to be listed.
And in a restaurant, all you have to do is ask. If they can't tell you what the transfat level is in a food, don't order it.
right, sorry but too many restaurants may not have a clue.
It is like restaurants which don't actually USE MSG but use chicken bullion cubes which themselves have MSG.
At some point there ARE some things that should be subject to regulation and/or standards.
For example O'Doules is marketed as Alchohol free but it still has alchohol in it. Enough to still be forbidden for those defendants on DUI/DWI probation.
These are not cigarettes,
These are not alchohol
These are not even carbonated soda
This is an ingredient which has dubious value.
For example there are regulations regading the amount of insect parts permitted in food. People should be free to unknowingly buy food with ground up bug parts because it is cheeper to NOT keep a factory clean?
If the science can support it, then transfats should be considered for a ban.
