Look in a bastion of freedom they are not going to ban anything even if it is publicly responsible. They won't ban smoking and they won't ban guns and both kill equal numbers. One day the population will wake up and say we have had enough but that day is a long way away

The emperor's FDA is going to put the final nail in trans fats . That way the whole country can eat the slop that they feed the kids in Moochelle's lunch program.

In the good ole USA anything "trans" is accepted and celebrated .....except trans fats.

[paraclete]

Stop complaining, she's right and so is he the time to have a more responsible community is here, and the trogladites will be carried kicking and screaming to the bon fire. you know Tom freedom isn't freedom if you have to die enjoying it

[tomder55]

I usually read labels to avoid them . But why should the government be making the choice for me ?

Yup. No more margarine dumped on those wholesome veggies.

They aren't making the choice for you. They are telling industries to stop poisoning people. You still have plenty of options to poison yourself though Tom.

[paraclete]

Look there are all sorts of additives in processed food, you are not being given a choice whether you consume those substances other than total rejection of the product, but you are trying to tell me a government who tells these industries to clean up their act is acting against your interests, your freedom. If you want to consume salt, sugar and these other substances pore them on yourself, they are freely available.

[tomder55]

Yup. No more margarine dumped on those wholesome veggies.

I use only olive oil and butter in my cooking . But margarine became the alternative when the government told us that the healthier alternative butter was bad for us . Suppose they had banned butter then ?

[paraclete]

You still haven't got it fats get changed by cooking, all life is a lottery. I live in regime where there are lots of things I cannot eat, It's sad because some of them I like

Like what?

[paraclete]

Broccoli, pasta, red wine, fruit juice the list is long

[tomder55]

so you are talking about personal restrictions ? Good point. Foods that some people can't eat for health reasons ....maybe the government should ban them too .

[Wondergirl]

All those lactose-intolerant people may eliminate ice cream from our food group.

[paraclete]

Yes Tom I'm talking about personal restrictions but if more were known maybe some of these so called health foods should be on the banned list or at least their properties publicised

[NeedKarma]

Broccoli, pasta, red wine, fruit juice the list is long

Those are outlawed in Australia?

[paraclete]

No Karma, when you suffer from certain complaints these and other foods make the problem worse or may even be the source

[NeedKarma]

So what does your personal issues have to do with the discussion?

[paraclete]

What does anything have to do with our conversation? As I recall this thread is about banned substances so the relevance is that I suggest some be banned.

[speechlesstx]

Apparently history has been banned.

[paraclete]

Or altered speech If we are lucky very soon the country of origin will be required on all foods
