Trans fats [82] (IP: --.dynamic.mts.net)
by Alan Einarson grayink@mts.net on Saturday February 7, 2004 10:01AM
Dear Pat, I applaud you for leading the charge to ban trans fats in Canadian foods. As a father and a health conscious citizen I am appalled by the lack of initiative that the Liberal government on this issue (and I have been a Liberal voter in the past five Federal elections)Simply labeling foods is not enough as the average person does not have the time to read every package that they pick up in a grocery store. I would challange Pierre Pettigrew to try to fill his grocery cart with foods that do not contain trans fats and he will quickly realize how prevalent they are in all of the foods we consume on a daily basis (from breakfast cereals to dried fruits!) Keep up the good work!
