Are you aware of what you're eating. What is in this weeks groceries that contains trans fats - bought any crackers lately?
Did you know that New York is banning Trans Fats in restaurants? Did you know McDonalds changed it's cooking oil so world wide you would not be eating it?
Answer this - What is currently in your cupboards that contains trans fats? Have a look see.

I am aware of what I am eating, I also feel we are loosing our freedom to choice what we can eat and do without the governemnt telling us no, or how dare you even think about doing that.

It is wonderful that you do know what's in your food. In many countries there is no listing of ingredients on consumer products. In Australia thankfully it is compulsory now to state whether a product has trans fats. And there are so many products that have them, especially the generic brands, or home brands which are hugely popular because they're cheaper.
Choice is taken away if we don't know in the first place what we are eating. Or it could be called ignorance?

We'd all eat a little better I think and make wiser choices if it weren't for those pesky little things called "taste buds"!

You'd love the book, "You on a Diet" by Dr. Mehmed Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen. It's a great book that tells in a hilarious way, the workings of the body and just what crap like trans fat does to you. It'll scare you into a better diet, that's for sure! I borrowed it from the library --there was a LONG line for this book and I couldn't renew it because someone else was waiting for it. There's also another one by the same authors, but I can't remember it. It talks about how each of your organs works and how it uses the food you put in your body.
