I’m no great fan of the WHO, but trans fats cause real problems.

Then we can solve that problem on our own. We don't need no stinking globalist bureaucracy controlling our food choices.

Fats go rancid fairly quickly.

Polyunsaturated fats go rancid quickly. Saturated fats do not.

But, of course, the industrial seed oils we get out of corn, soybeans, cotton seed, etc., are polyunsaturated. Saturated fats come from animals and tropical fruits - lard, beef tallow, coconut, avocado, and palm kernel oil.

Industrial seed oils are far cheaper to produce.

I agree, but we don't need a globalist bureaucracy trying to tell us that saturated fats cause heart disease, either.

Yes they did.
And don’t even think about eating eggs; THOSE things would KILL ya!

My principle issue with government good policy is that government even HAS food policy at all.

Just this morning I discovered that the FDA had banned PHO in the US as of a final ruling dated 2018 (the date for compliance has been extended through 2020).

Incredibly, I was ignorant of this fact. If you knew my background, you would grasp how incredible it is that I missed it. Additionally, I came across this post while searching to see if it had been posted to FR (since I obviously had no recollection of it here).

Your points are spot-on, but the hypocrisy of the FDA - in the wake of the virus jabs - is now on full display.

While researching the FDA decision, I came across this little gem:

“In the 2015 final order, we stated that food that is adulterated may be subject to seizure and distributors, manufacturers, and other parties responsible for such food may be subject to injunction.”

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/05/21/2018-10714/final-determination-regarding-partially-hydrogenated-oils

Many here read that passage and immediately envision armed FDA agents descending upon a food manufacturing facility for daring to use PHO in their food. We now have the example of the damage wrought by the FDA concerning the faux motivations over infant formula.

It’s tyrannical intimidation of the first order by a hypocritical federal bureaucracy which sees fit to look the other way while the population kills itself consuming sugar, carbs and seed oils...all the while promoting explosive growth in pharmaceutical poisoning, including the virus jabs.

Additionally, we have new insights into the true motivations of the WHO in the wake of the manufactured crisis named the ‘COVID-19 Pandemic.’
