I am in full support of this bill. I'm wondering why it's taken so long for something like this to come about.
Consumers have a full time job trying to purchase food. Reading every box, carton, package, etc. takes time & energy but it is something that health conscious consumers have to do to avoid dangerous foods. But it is the unknown that is at issue here too; we really have no way of knowing if our restaurant foods contain trans fats.
I hope this bill passes and we can eliminate commercial hydrogenation of foods. I am definately in support of this.
I can not understand why the government has allowed this to go on for so long. Surely they know that by allowing trans fats in our foods they are adding to the cost of health care due to the many health issues that trans fats cause.
Ditto with tobacco. They know it kills yet they continue to collect the revenue from the sale of it ... but that's another topic.
