NYC may bann trans fats
 

NEW YORK - Three years after the city banned smoking in restaurants, health officials are talking about prohibiting something they say is almost as bad: artificial trans fatty acids.

The city health department unveiled a proposal Tuesday that would bar cooks at any of the city’s 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that contain the artery-clogging substance, commonly listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated oil.

Artificial trans fats are found in some shortenings, margarine and frying oils and turn up in foods from pie crusts to french fries to doughnuts.


:cussing: i will not have the government take away my food
and what ingrediants make my food taste good
all becuase people are too fuckin lazy ta work out
yes im sure it wont just be NY banning this shit niether :cussing:

fuck if that shit comes here im goin postal on you lazy fuckz:shoot:

i'd preffer not to have to work out as much, and i dont see how eatin a lil healthier is ganna hurt anyone

thats like not seeing whats wrong wit diet mountain dew

IT TASTES NASTY

tons of foods like doritoes and shit say no trans fat on them and the bitches taste the exact same... trans fat and w/e they do to diet mountian dew is a lot different

I think stuff that were made with trans fats like margarine should be replaced with good ole artery clogging butter. Margarine has always tasted like blah. Butter tastes a lot better. Trans fats are chemically made anyways while butter is from natural ingredients. In addition, trans fats increase the bad chloresterol and decrease the good chloresterol, while saturated fats like butter increase both.

lame....they shouldnt BANN anything,,,if ppl wana be unhealthy that should be a choise...

if they do that why not ban fat ppl all together ?

wow, talk about misinformed. no transfats don't flavor your food. that's what preserveatives and artificial flavors are for. Transfats come from using unbelievably cheap oils which predispose you to cancer and heart disease. has nothing to do with wight gain, has nothingto do with none of that shit.

^^will now i know...but still they shouldnt bann shit
its our chioce on what we eat and put in our foods
NOT THE LAW's!!

i dont get it they decide ta bann ingrediants cuz its too "unhealthy"
yet they dont do shit about banning smoking or anything else??
thats fucked up

dude your'e bein fuckin stupid man. someones' doing something for your health that costs you nada and affects you nothing and you're crying.

there's no injustice here man, believe me. you should be thankfull.


and smoking is a choice you conciously make, ingesting an oil that is a carcinogen just because you like french fries, is not.

whatever u got ur opinion and i got my opinion
its like banning big macs cuz they contain too much fat
they switch ingrediants up and shit never tastes the same
and that means we gon be eating healthier doughnuts
which means they gon taste like shit
cuz whats good is unhealthy and fattning

strobe said it all, margerine tastes like shit
butter is better but bad for the body

lol you misunderstood strobe
margarine is made with trans fat
butter is real
now seriously you cant tell me that like margarine?

i think tis is a good idea
especially for the youth who have no say in the matter

^^ehhhh guess ya'll right it is better... :sleep:

i think its a great idea...i also wish they would ban smoking in public places here...

it's not an opinion you stipid prick, you don't know the facts.

they're not switching ingredients, they're stwitching THE OIL ITS COOKED IN numbnuts.
