Bye-bye Crisco (which, by the way, was the first mass-marketed partially hydrogenated oil, dating back to 1912)
If you can find a way to preserve oils at room temperature without hydrogenating the stuff, I'm all ears.
Don't you understand the purpose of the ban?
We the people are to damn stupid to know what is best for us, and we need liberals to make those choices for us
Only liberals know what is best for society. Who are we to question them?
But what about all those transfat goodies they sell in the stores?
Don't tell me they are going to eliminate the COOKIE aisles?!!
Crisco has had a 100% trans-fat-free shortening product for a couple years now.
There are plenty of alternatives. The food industry uses trans fats because it's so cheap. They can easily move to tropical oils.
Yeah, and I try to eat healthy as anybody should, but I don't think it should be forced. If the two tubs of lard next door want to save a buck a day eating trans fats instead of safer alternatives, it's their choice.
restaurants don't have nutrition labels on their menus
So it's OK to sell trans fats in the cookie aisles as long as they have nutrition labels?
But the restaurants can't sell them? Even if they were to identify them in their menus?
That seems unfair and biased against the restaurants.
The reason trans fats are being singled out is because it's a "man made" substance and very few people know anything about it. If you want to eat ten pounds of bacon, go for it. It's natural and most have been educated in saturated fats. However if the food industry develops an unnatural process that makes foods very unheathly just because it's cheap, well I think that is wrong and it should be phased out.

Give me 1 logical reason why trans fats should be allowed for usage in our food industry. Until then, it really doesn't matter what happens with this thread.
Just think how far they can carry this MB. No more Home Cookin restaurants, no this, no that, on the menu anymore. Good grief its hard enough to survive now and the menu is going to be slashed! So much for eating out, there'll be no place to go.
I have. You've simply chosen to ignore them in favor of a totalitarian view that anything that's not good for you should be banned. The logical fallacy in your argument is that the 'logical' qualifier in your statement will be used as carte blanch to reject everything I say as illogical.
What a stupid argument!
You've given me plenty of reasons, but I wanted logical reasons why they should be allowed? If tacobell starts putting hydrocloric acid in their kidsmeals, will you be mad and want that to be removed from restraunts? If so, then it would only be equal for me to say that you are in "favor of a totalitarian view". Hell, all you have to do is look at my avatar to know that your statement is wrong. I support people doing anything they want as long as they know the risks and are not affecting the liberties of others. Ba

Perhaps you could give one ligical reason why you believe it is your place to tell others what they can and can't do when they are harming no one but themselves?
Last I heard, that was THE argument that homosexuality was "okay."
