[min0 lee]

Unreal, the things people do to eat crap.
She doesn't realize that foods cooked with Trans fatty whatever can kill you.

 

[min0 lee]

By the way GG, in NYC they plan on making it illegal to cook with Trans fat.

 

[ReelBigFish]

actually it's not going to be a law for them to not use trans fats, they are just asking that they do use more healthful oils.

Your right

No blubbering: NYC wants less fat
Newspaper says city health department urges restaurants to stop serving food containing trans fats.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - New York City wants its restaurants to trim the fat, trans fat that is.

The city's health department urged all restaurants in the city Wednesday to stop serving food containing trans fats, according to a report in The New York Times.

Trans fats, which are prominent in foods like cookies and French fries, are chemically modified ingredients that can be found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, the report said. The Times, citing health officials, said the fats increase the risk of heart disease and should not be part of any healthy diet.

"To help combat heart disease, the No. 1 killer in New York City, we are asking restaurants to voluntarily make an oil change and remove artificial trans fat from their kitchens," Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the city's health commissioner, told the newspaper.

Three decades ago trans fats were promoted as a healthy alternative to saturated fats like butter, according to the newspaper, but today, most experts agree they are the most dangerous type of fat in America.

A survey by the health department's food inspectors found that from 30 to 60 percent of the city's 20,000 restaurants use partially hydrogenated oil in food preparation, the Times reported. That means thousands of cooks and chefs might need to change their cooking and purchasing habits to meet the request, the newspaper said.

The health department will not seek to ban the ingredient outright, but it has begun a campaign to educate restaurateurs, their suppliers and the public about trans fats, according to the Times.

The paper said it isn't clear how many restaurants will heed Frieden's advice, but already many of the city's higher-priced restaurants avoid using the fats.

Public health officials say trans fat not only has the same heart-clogging properties as saturated fat, but also reduces the "good" cholesterol that works to clear arteries, the report said.

While countries like Denmark and Canada have considered or imposed regulations on trans fat, government agencies in the U.S. have largely relied on the industry to police itself, the Times reported. Outside of New York, the only effort of note was a campaign in Tiburon, a small town in Marin County, Calif., that led to 18 local restaurants ending the use of trans fats, the report said.

According to the paper, the city plans to conduct another survey next year to determine the effectiveness of the campaign and will then assess what further steps might be needed.

"Trans fat clearly contributes to heart disease, but it is something that is relatively new to the consumer environment," Dr. Sonia Angell, the department's director of cardiovascular disease prevention and control, told the newspaper.

Angell told the Times that common monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils like olive, peanut, sunflower and cottonseed oils are good alternatives to partially hydrogenated oil.

The newspaper said the city was careful to solicit the endorsement of the Restaurant Association before announcing its campaign, as well as the American Heart Association. However, many restaurant owners, workers and patrons interviewed by the newspaper met the city's campaign with some skepticism.

Karen Quam, a waitress at the Bridgeview Diner in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge section, told the newspaper: "Labeling is as far as you want to go. You don't want to be telling people what to eat."

I say make it a law

Needs to be a nation wide law.

They don't want to hear that. McDonalds is killing people, not people's lack of responsibility.

Agreee, everyone knows that fast food is not healthy. People who use to sit down eating ‎crap the whole day in front of their TV will think that McDonald is a good diet food ‎because they are not eating everything else for a while.‎

I think the point of the article is that monitoring your caloric intake and making "better" choices can make a substantial difference in the way your diet turns out--at least it's a step in the right direction

17 is a wonderful age, I ate all the wrong foods yet I made good gains and it never went to my stomache.

I used to be able to eat McDonalds and White Castle with no problem, now it just gives me the runs.

Oh yeah, I have also noticed that most fast food eaters tend to get a nasty case of acne......could it be the trans fat?

When i was 17, i weighed abotu 98 pounds, albeit i was probably around 28-30% fat because i was skinny fat, you know? But i ate like crap and barely exercised and looked pretty good. I thought i was fat, regardless (though that didnt' stop me from eating nothing but junk food).

If i ate even one day's worth NOW of what i used to eat on a regular basis THEN, I would be a friggin HOUSE. And not just any house. ONe of those celebrity mansions in beverly hills. A HOUSE house.

Speaking of "Brick house...."


when i was i think 20 (maybe i was 19??) that new year's eve, the commodores sans lionel ritchie played a free concert in bayfront park in downtown miami. I was dating a guy who was the production manager for that show, and i got a backstage pass to hang out and lend a hand wherever they might need one (get your minds out of the gutters! all i did was sit in a folding chair most of the show and chatted with the commodores' wives/girlfriends/kids). Just before midnight they started singing Brick House and at then they invited everyone from the backstage crew to go on stage to count down, and then kept us all on stage and sang an encore of Brick House, and I WAS RIGHT THERE ON THE STAGE with a commodore on each side all of us singing Brick House at midnight! hahahahahahaha! It was such a blast!

 

[The Monkey Man]

Sounds like a good time -

 

[min0 lee]

when do you think this was? this was in the mid-to-late 90's! about 10 years ago at most!!! hahaha!

The commodores were has-beens by then, no? I mean lionel wasn't even with them anymore!

 

[min0 lee]

I was thinking the 70's.

 

[Marky]

the reason she lost weight is because she was malnutritioned. If your not eatting enough calories, then your bound to loose weight. But the question is what kinna weight? im not supprised if she lost a lot of lean muscle mass in the process... if you dont feed your body, the first thing its going to cut into is your muscles.
