Food Worse with No Trans Fats

I think we over reacted to the trans fat scare news; when we learned that heart disease was a direct link with these types of fats. Now our foods don’t have them and they just don’t taste as good. Fried chicken at fast food restaurants isn’t that great tasting anymore and our potato chips have lost their flavor. I hope we take a different approach on this matter and let trans gram fats back into our foods. Give consumers a choice on the matter and don’t make a decision for us. If you eat a few more fats than normal, you can always take diet pills or exercise a little more if you want. You could also shop for foods that don’t have trans fats in them. I would like for shoppers to be able to go to the aisle in the grocery store that has potato chips and see some listed with no trans fats and some with trans fats in them. If we have a choice on the matter, it makes the decision more acceptable. It’s not good that the government decides this without us and now we don’t get to eat foods that are that great tasting, due to the steps the government has taken against trans gram fats in food. Everyone is aware of the dangers of trans gram fats now and we can eat a more sensible diet. I would even eat food less that has trans fats in them, but I do want to eat them sometimes and I hope we get trans gram fats back into our foods like potato chips and fried chicken.
