You can’t say anything against Transfats, that’s their identity, you’re racist.

"Huh?"
He's referring to a protein which self identifies as a fat.
To: BenLurkin
If they want to solve the over-population problem, they shouldn’t phase them out if they are so bad for us. I am 72 years long and have been eating food with transfat in them and I show no signs of dying. “Yet”.

In a few years, the “science” will be determined to be wrong - trans-fat is actually good for you.

This isn’t another transracial/transgender/... thread is it?
When transfats are outlawed only outlaws will have transfats.

I’m sure this was the vision that Jefferson, Madison and company had in mind when they met in Philadelphia that summer.

Most food companies haven’t used transfats for over a decade for snack foods. As such, it wouldn’t make much difference for a company like Frito-Lay and Nabisco.

The government was late on this. Trans fats are poison.
To: BenLurkin
There is no point to having trans fats (”partially hydrogenated vegetable oil”). They’re artificial. They don’t make food better, they make it worse. Their benefit is shelf life — they replace oils that go rancid. They were also brought in to replace animal fats, which, it turns out, are not so bad as they thought.
If you like two year old twinkies, you may disagree.

If you ever wondered why your Oreo's don't taste nearly as good as they used to, you can thank the war on TFA's.
Now foods, especially edible oils, will rancidify sooner, and before most people notice. Trouble with rancid oil is that it is loaded with free radicals. And I can assure you free radicals can be much more deleterious to your health than the alleged dangers of consuming trans fats. Gotta love government bureaucrats. Idiots, every last one of 'em.

Trans fats are poison Especially the naturally occurring trans fat found in meats and dairy. How is the government going to save you from those?
