I thought libs liked trans things.
I’m no great fan of the WHO, but trans fats cause real problems.
They’re a frankenfood that should have never been recognized as safe. They’re extremely rare in nature and have never been a significant part of the diet for any species on the planet.
They’re structurally the same as saturated fats, but they’re not. They end up in cell membranes, taking the place of saturated fats, but don’t react chemically the way they should, causing any number of metabolic issues.
But I don’t think we’re likely to see much of a benefit from a ban because the manufacturers have developed new processes to turn cheap industrial seed oils into shelf-stable fats that don’t involve hydrogenation, but do create new types of far that have never existed in nature.
What could go wrong?
Just what some poor character needs while starving in Somalia - a Nanny State lecture on proper nutrition.
WHO?
We need to divorce ourselves from all foreign/One World organizations.
But they don’t name the trans fats.
And how many divisions has the WHO?
“Once we ban trans fat, the rest of banning food will become...a piece of cake.”
YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH
My problem with banning them is that this will be just a first step in controlling what you may eat and how much. Insurance companies will raise your rates just for eating buttered popcorn, or a gram over your mayonnaise allowance...
Gee whiz...lot of content in that story.
Didn’t the government say for about fifty years that if you eat butter, your arteries would harden into licorice ropes, and that healthy margarine (trans fat) was the way to go? Sorry if I’m unimpressed.
Ban it. . .I need my government over-lords to protect me from myself!!
Dairy farmers rejoice at the potential spike in butter prices.
