RE: How the Food Industry shifts Focus from Health to Sales
Nice post, upvoted. I could not agree with you more. Trans/hydrogenated fats are a real evil when introduced into foods - a common ingredient in fast food, pizza, cookies, margarine, etc. Some governments - believe it or not the US, as well as many European countries, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, Ireland - have woken up to the fact that transfats are just not good for you. They have introduced bans and limitations on transfat in foods. The US FDA ruled this in 2015 and it comes into effect in 2018.
Thanks for the great reply! Yes I was aware of the ban on transfats and the shift away from them. I believe this to be a step in the right direction but the western diet is still full of foods that can be traced to all of the top 15 biggest killers in the US including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and carcinomas of all sort and that is just to name a few. I really feel that people must advocate for themselves and be aware that the food industry is not looking out for our betterment.
Peace,
