Actually, I can. But that's besides the point. In all seriousness, getting rid of trans fat is a good thing. It'll be interesting how it all pans out. Most of the major restaurant chains will/have complied, jumped on the bandwagon, and made it a big deal that they are doing their part.

You has transfat radar installed on your tongue? Baller.

Any hoo, sooner or later people will forget the tasty taste of transfat.

But if they tried the same for MSG...oh boy....1.6 billion angry Chinese will be...uh...angry.

Yep, but it got destroyed after I had one of the Chinese melamine injected egg rolls.

i'll be mad if msg ever get banned...

instant noodles are just not the same without msg..

but since it's only transfat that is getting banned...
it's okay since i can't really taste a big difference..

Fat people make me mad, especially when they take up the whole isle in the grocery store; when they stink like ass; when they eat all the food at a party.

Fuck you fat people.

After coke and brandy and mouth wash, I finally got the taste out of my mouth. There's always a silver lining.......... the shit makes for good lip balm. I think it will still be moist for a good two or three days. WTF do they put in this shit? Never mind clogging your fucking arteries, this shit will clog your throat.


Edit: just checked the tin. The brand is called "Fat Choy". Made in China. I should have known. It's probably made of melamine.......... melamine lip balm.
lol damn i ate a lot of those.. its good for snacking
but thats gross man
i never had that taste in my mouth
dam

dont care. i want them, or at least the option to have them.

id honestly pay a premium to still get it. i can just see myself calling a guy in the middle of the night for some weed and greasy food.

"yeah dude, get me a 20 and.....(whispering) and a meatlovers pizza. make sure its real greasy. this is going to be sweet."

so 5 gram a day means guaranteed heart attack. Let's sell this stuff to the emo. The slogan is "you won't make a mess of your toilet". :haha:

Good step although imo, it's still personal choice...if people cared enough to cut out trans fats or anything unhealthy as a lifestyle choice, they would have already stopped consuming trans fats before the government banned them altogether.
Large portions of simple carbs such as white rice, pasta, candy, bread are bad for you too, does that mean they're going to restrict portion sizes at restaurants sooner or later?

2damaxmr2 03-08-2009 04:44 PM
or forcing us to buy their healthly national ration ? sounds like a communist move to me.

Yes, that is EXACTLY what they are doing. They are forcing you to buy healthy.

You're a fucking idiot.

They are not forcing you to buy anything. They are taking away transfat item use from restaurants and lowering industrially produced transfats. No one is stopping you from buying a shitload of it and cooking it yourself.

You're the reason why I hate freedom. Fucking want to be anarchist.

Carbs are not bad for you.

Trans fats don't break down. There's no reason to be eating it. Food makers use it cuz they're lazy. They SHOULD ban it.

Animal fat is where it's at and 10x better for you. Go chow down on that if you guys are upset.

Beef fat: yum
Fish fat: yum
Roast Pork fat: yum
Bacon fat: yum

Trans fat: No.

People do have a choice when buying groceries etc., but in restaurants, you don't always know what you're eating. Now people who are conscious about their diets have one less thing to be concerned with.

I think this is a step in the right direction.

QFT

50 years ago, people had to work a lot at manual labour jobs.
They had to bike or walk to the postal office to send a letter.

Now-a-days, you have fat asses that are too lazy to get up and go to the photocopy machine. Send an email "wanna go to mcdonalds?" to the person 3 cubicles over instead of walking to them and asking in person.

no exercise,work in office, .. fat lazy slobs.. . . dont eat in moderation.

Do you know what there is no need for?

Being a hypocrite.

Good job there bud. :thumbsup:

Hopefully the next step will be to have restaurants list calorie information on the menus.

Simple carbs give you energy, but when you're consuming more carbs than what your body uses to function daily, where do the carbs go? It turns into fat and stays in your body.
Consuming high trans fat foods and large portion sizes are equally deadly contribuations to obesity. (Have you ever ordered a pasta from a place in the U.S.?)
If carbs are all good for you, how come the Atkin's diet is one of the most popular all these years?

Yes...carbs are really no different from any other except for added nutrients
their really is no difference between a slice of whole wheat bread and white bread in the carbs itself except for the added fiber and protein in the whole wheat bread
simple carbs have a different glycemic index than complex but u really need not to worry about that unless ur an serious athlete

Graeme S 03-09-2009 09:46 AM
So wait. They're only limiting the industrial trans fats? I can deal with that. Just as long as they keep frying my fries in that delicious mcDick's beef tallow :D

cause atkins is for chicks trying to look anorexically skinny to please their men. most guys dont want to be skinny. most guys want to get bigger. carbs are bad if you are a couch potato but if you use them they are alllllll good.
