| Take that, trans fat: B.C. to ban artery-clogger from restaurants
The Campbell government hopes banning trans fat might just translate into votes come May 15, announcing Saturday that B.C. will be the first province to restrict the artery-clogger in restaurants.
"This is an effective way we can protect British Columbians' health," said Minister of Healthy Living Mary Polak in a release. The regulation — which will restrict industrially produced trans fats to two percent of total fat content for oils and spreadable margarines and to five percent of total fat content for all other foods — is part of B.C.'s new Public Health Act, and follows the recommendations of Health Canada's Trans Fat Task Force.
The government has partnered with the Heart and Stroke Foundation for the last year, consulting members of industry and preparing them for the change.
Food-service establishments that require a permit to operate, including restaurants, delis, cafeterias, schools, health-care institutions and bakeries, must comply with the new regulation by Sept. 30, 2009. Packaged foods that have a federally approved Nutrition Facts table and are sold directly to the consumer are exempt.
The Ministry of Healthy Living will set up a website and resources by the end of March to help businesses make the transition.

and not because transfats are bad for you, though they are, it because fat people are too dumb and lazy to exercise or only eat as much as they need to, and now because of it we all have to suffer.

I personally think this is a good thing. One less thing to worry about when you go out to eat.

Speaking about trans fat, my son's friend brought a tin of Chinese egg rolls (cookie kind) over yesterday (LAN party). I tried one this morning. Holy shit, the fucking thing left a coating of lard on the roof of my mouth that I couldn't get rid of. It was totally gross. 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.

Some of you are pretty ignorant, it is unnecessary to use hydrogenated oil to cook your food, every 1 gram per day increase in trans fat intake, the risk of heart disease
increases by 20%
Pocky used to have 5g of transfat and 5g of saturated fat, now it's only .5g of trans fat, average increase in price to consumer? nothing, same price.

Are people actually in uproar over this? Transfats really aren't good at all, so getting rid of them is a positive thing at the very least. Not like one could really tell from the taste of McCrapola's fries if it has transfat in it or not.
