FDA to Ban Artery-Clogging Trans Fats

[presence]

Over/under on a trans-fat black market?

Money making opportunity?

Personally, I only use coconut oils or grassfed butter when I can get it.

You realize that all cattle only eat plants right? Grassfed is just a bunch of marketing BS.

Where's the 'my body, my choice' crowd on this one?

Most feed lot cattle (aka styro packaged grocery store beef) are fattened on GMO corn in tight quarters.





Grass fed is pastured half the year and fed fermented round bales in the winter.

Yep.

Thanks for clarifying that for the uneducated.

It looks like I am the only one here happy about this decision of the FDA to finally ban synthetic trans-fats, honestly they never should have been approved. They are not natural, serve no nutritional purpose and do lead to blockages which cause strokes and heart attacks. The only reason they were ever used was a way of preserving food.

The FDA needs to be banned. If .gov was not involved in the food and corporate industry, we wouldn't be having all the bad food problems in the first place.

Yeah. Companies should be able to put whatever they want into foods.

Under true capitalism and free enterprise, a bogus company would not last very long. They would have to make product that people will trust and enjoy.

The old "snake oil" label was invented by government to make successful snake oil salesmen look evil. In fact Chinese snake oil is actually beneficial and has many healing properties. Now we use to the words to say that someone is trying to con us.

It is the gov that has conned people for the last century+ in the food and textile industries to support their buddies. It's called crony capitalism- maybe you've heard of it?

Is government really who you want to control what companies are able to put into anything let alone food?

Everything government gets involved in it fucks up, everything!
