I'm all for potentially healthier standards from the FDA, but like, if we're banning trans fats for these reasons, why do we still let people smoke?

It's not like people willingly put transfats into their food and now they're being oppressed by the evil government.
Ridiculous. People have a fucking right to put whatever the hell they want to in their bodies. We should be pursuing forced labeling laws, not this nanny state bullshit.

It's not like people willingly put transfats into their food and now they're being oppressed by the evil government.Banning any substance that people willingly put into their bodies is morally wrong. If we had better labeling laws, then people would know what's in their food and would be able to make their own informed decision. That's the utopia, not banning anything that's remotely harmful.Bro, nobody willfully puts transfats into their foods. We just buy food with transfats because we don't know it has it and we don't really care enough to not buy the product. It's not something we willfully do that's being taken from us. Fuck off with your obnoxious oppression complex.if you would read the fucking label you'd know, faggotThis is the fault of people too dumb to be responsible consumers, nobody else.

At most, it's recommended no more than 2g of trans fat a day, preferably 0. If some were to have multiple servings with 1/2 a gram that would go over the allowance. They should at least tighten the label recommondations.

And, I'd bet, if you had your way in the matter, you'd catapault those folks into the sun.But put an embargo on them and suddenly you're breaching people's rights?Think about it. Remove trans fats. What happens?Oh wait they just put other normal, less destructive fats and shit in there because they can. Because that's normal.Sometimes there's a right and wrong way to do things. Are you really going to argue against stopping somebody from eating toxic shit in their food when it can just as easily be replaced with regular healthier shit?

If I want to go buy a gallon of trans fats and smear it all over my salad, I should have every right to do so.It's all about consent. I don't consent to Monsanto putting shit all over my foods and then selling them in stores like they're normal fruits and vegetables. If they were forced to put a big label on their shitty crops, it would be much, much, less of a big deal. The ideal world isn't where everything bad is banned. The ideal world is where bad things are clearly labeled as such, and people can knowingly choose to still eat them.
