		<description><![CDATA[To say that fat is not bad and what is bad is sugar and that too much sugar is what causes obesity, not fat is just plain ridiculous. Sugar and fat aren&#039;t inherently bad; what is bad is consuming too much of them. Also why do you think consuming fats does not make makes one&#039;s fat fat levels increase?

In the case of trans fats it&#039;s pretty bad because any amount will decrease your good cholesterol (HDL) and increase your bad cholesterol (LDL) at  same time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat which is uncommon in nature but can be created artificially. Consumption of trans fats increases the risk of coronary heart diseas

The trace trans fat that occurs naturally in some foods like beef and dairy are  natural trans fat and could actually be beneficial compared to hydrogenated vegetable shortening trans fats, So the government isn&#039;t interested in banning foods with natural trans fat. It&#039;s only interested in banning artificially created trans fat that is harmful and completely unnecessary to the enjoyment of foods..

Take a look at the ingredients in your kitchen. I did. Nothing contains trans fat, which means foods like brownie mix, microwave popcorn, cheez wiz in a can, crackers taste delicious without trans fat. If it was further removed from foods that only have it added as a preservative, foods would be a little healthier and there&#039;d be no difference in taste...only our arteries would know the difference.
Fast food places have already removed trans fats from their foods and so have many restaurants. Those that haven&#039;t do so out of convenience to them at the health risk of their consumers.
This isn&#039;t about telling us what we can eat. It&#039;s about removing a deadly and completely unnecessary  additive FROM foods we eat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. government and the courts long ago abandoned the true meaning of the Constitution. Its just more obvious when Progressives are in control.


A recent article by John Marini, Visiting Distinguished Fellow at Hillsdale College, summed it up this way:


&quot;The Great Society marked the beginning of an expansion of the federal government and a centralization of political and administrative power in Washington that had long been the domain of local and state governments. In addition to destroying the fabric of federalism, this centralization had the effect of undermining the separation of powers, making it difficult if not impossible for Congress, the president, and the bureaucracy to function amicably in pursuit of a national interest. 



What we have seen in subsequent decades is the steady expansion of a modern administrative state.


In America, the administrative state traces its origins to the Progressive movement. Inspired by the theories of the German political philosopher Georg Hagel, Progressives like Woodrow Wilson believed that the erection of the modern state marked an &quot;end of History,&quot; a point at which there is no longer any need for conflict over fundamental principles. Politics at this point would way to administration, and administration becomes the domain not of partisans, but of neutral and highly-trained experts.&quot;


Obama has taken this concept further than any other liberal president. He appoints czars and approves of legislation that give broad and unprecedented authority to agency heads and unelected bureaucrats (like IPAB in Obamacare), the &quot;exdperts&quot; to determine policies and regulations for every American.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Constitution says NOTHING whatever about the federal government having any police powers.  The closest it comes in in the Preamble, when it says that the Constitution is being written &quot;to provide for the general Welfare.&quot;  That clause has long since been interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court NOT to delegate police powers to the federal government.  Accordingly, the federal government&#039;s assumption of police powers is a-constitutional if not UNconstitutional.

The federal government, over time, has accumulated some police powers, but it is not doing so Constitutionally.  Police powers properly belong to the states, which are closer to the people.  We should be scrupulous to take away all police powers that the federal government has quietly assumed.

Nothing in the Constitution gives the feds the power to regulate food.  Congress can regulate interstate commerce in food, but not what we eat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aside from the abhorrent attempt to curtail personal liberty by banning transfat from food, there is a simple issue that these idiots seem to all miss. Fat is not bad, what is bad is sugar. Too much sugar is what causes obesity, not fat. Fat can actually be beneficial in small quantities. I would have thought that the FDA would know that, but then again what can you expect from a bureaucracy that way oversteps its bounds quite regularly? I dont know what pisses me off more, the nannystatism that treats everyone like 3 year olds instead of adults, or the fact that THEY CANT GET THE BLOODY FOOD RIGHT! Idiots, all idiots.]]></description>
