FDA TO PHASE OUT TRANS FATS
« on: Thu, 07 November 2013, 10:41:39 »
So, do you support the banning phasing out of trans fats from foods? It appears that the Food & Drug Administration does.

Any thoughts?

That won't work if you're using Internet Explorer 6 you know. That's why I keep recommending it!

Gotta weigh the options though. On the one hand: Completely ****ty weather. On the other hand: Poutine and national health care that works

The inherent fear of big government is an ego-bound phenomena.. that some how by conforming, they've taken away your competitive advantage...

This is not true..

That's what I said when they banned Lucas chili/sour powders. I'll get lead poisoning if I damn well please!

why do you guys look at bans this way..

The ban is to prevent lead poisoning..  it's not a violation of your rights, or at all them telling you what to do...

It's just them banning OBVIOUSLY poisonous substances from mass consumption..

If lucas chili/sour made a new powder without lead, it'd be approved all the same.

I think moose was doing a tongue in cheek thing.  I don't think he actually wants lead poisoning.

Yeah, well **** Lucas for taking their ball and going home. I don't wanna eat no baby Lucas ****.

Or maybe it was the lead that made all the difference? In which case, **** the government for taking something I truly loved from me.

Obviously, I'm not going to get lead poisoning. I'd just be taking in more lead than the government says I should. But it'd be worth it.

Ok.. i get ur sarcastic...  but dang.. there are kids reading this... and perpetuating "fight the power"  is harmful to social cohesion and efficient governance...

I really don't think we should fear government, especially BIG government.....   Because it's big.. it's full of PEOPLE... and in any large sample.. the ratios of GOOD egg to BAD egg are always normal..

Thus the bigger the government... the safer it is, the more it actually "represents" the people it governs...


The whole fear placed upon the "Age of the Kings" is unfounded.. there is no such throne in the modern world...


Yes it becomes more inefficient.. but that's what technology is for... organization... be patient... we've only had  Oracle and SAP for a few years.....

The government is not telling you what to eat.

"Scientist" type people are changing the dietary status of trans fats from "Safe" to "Not Safe"

Sounds like a win for truth, to me.

I would say that this is a science question, not a social studies question.

And anyway, the vast majority of trans fat has already been removed from processed food anyway.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

it's no necessary to split social studies and science  except towards academia..


for example.. They invent Nukes...  could you say it's NOT a deeply social-studies phenomenon in the deciding to use it?

Is genocide possibly beneficial...   If such great cost could grant us world peace in establishing a single nation within a short period of time....

All that would be social-studies....   and yet the Pivotal invention was made by physicists. 


and to be clear... I think if nukes didn't have the radioactive fall out...   the USA probably would've bombed EVERYONE.... including the british...  call it collateral damage and write WIN in the history books...
