I risk becoming a "liberal" by some people's definition in my old age. These products are loaded with partially hydrogenated oils which are created by an artificial process and which are used because they are cheaper than using real butter, etc. PHO remains in the body and is super linked with cancer and heart disease. There is nothing much "natural" about it. I have heard doctors (hardly fans of lawsuits) on several shows discussing this. Apparently, you could literally stick a needle into a person's rump and draw out the PHO stored there.

Sounds about right. I have come to the conclusion over the years, that we Conservatives cannot necessarily rely on big corporations to share our philosophy or do anything other than protect their short term profits.

While I oppose these lawsuits, I am all in favor of small businesses as opposed to giant global corporations. I'm in favor of lowering the barriers to entry into these markets. Government raises the barrier with paperwork and assorted BS regulations to prevent small business from entering and thus protecting the large corporations from competition.

Being in support of farmers, small businesses, local products, and natural products is definitely a conservative concept.

Multinationals would feed us cyanide if they could get paid enough and make it safe enough so that we didn't die too soon.
