Health police: Drop the trans

The New York City health department wants to ban restaurants from

serving food that contains trans fats, an artery-clogging component

found in many oils and margarines.

City health officials describe trans fatty acids as an invisible and

dangerous hazard that causes 500 New Yorkers to die each year from

heart disease. (Here's an FDA factsheet.) Chefs would have six

months to wean themselves off the artifical compound. The city says

many have already started changing their recipes. Those who don't

would face fines of up to $2,000.

The Center for Consumer Freedom, a group funded by the restaurant

industry, opposes the proposal. " This is a solution in search of a

problem, " says Rick Berman.

Are you worried about what you're eating when you go to a restaurant?

The problem is that these super-processed and health damaging foods

are so common and " normal " in our everyday life that many believe

that these foods are not that bad since they are found everywhere.

Plus everywhere you go to eat you are sorrounded by these super

processed, and very hard to diggest foods, like white bread, white

sugars etc.

These are true posions - these so called dead carbohydrates, that

are so common in our life, are also the number one food for cancer.

We drink a Pepsi or a Cola supposely for refreshment, and have no

clue that not only we are not crunching down the thirst, but we are

destoying our digestive system by injecting unwanted pepsine, and

dead sugars that are very hard to digest.

Gov. needs to interfere since the public is very ignorant of this

matter. After all we are all paying the price of this degenerated

food culture, with our health insurance premiums, and doctor's bill.

We need to take action now, and possibly outlaw the use of white

flour and white sugars.
