Nancy,
Perhaps it will take a state like New York to get on it! New York state just banned Trans Fats due to the many health consequences.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is just as bad in my opinion. Jerry is correct it is in so many products even tooth paste. So while reading lables check out the trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, as well as the high fructose corn syrup!
When I was growing up we were all skinny, well we did a lot of out door games and such, but also we didn't eat Trans Fats, High Fructose Corn syrup and the beef in Idahoe was not fed growth hormones or antibiotics. The cattle I'm famaliar with ate grains, hay, and dried fruits. Even chickens are fed the growth hormones and antibiotics now. Is it any wonder that young girls become young ladies at the ripe old age of 8 now instead of 12 as it was when I was a youngster and my mother and grandmother were growing up!
I'm doing the best I can to eat fresh to cut out all of the additives. Good luck on your recovery.

How hypocritical can you be? You can smoke in NYC but you can’t eat Twinkies. One of the great things about the Big Apple WAS your independence. I have a real problem when the government begins to tell you what and where you can eat. WHAT’S NEXT???? New York City always represented to me the freedom of choice, all-different ethic restaurants and foods.
Maybe the MEAT NAZI’S will ban red meat all together?
Think about it, they may ban Luau’s here because of the fat content in pork.
Would you like that? All the labor and jobs that support these activities would be gone.
Oh, how stupid of me they would just serve Tofu Pork.
Get real and stay out of my life, find something else to ban.
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....
