What do you all think of this??

seems to me like people are willing to blame everything on someone else??

[Soledad]

I don't know about a ban, but if it makes more people aware of the dangers of trans fat, it can't be ALL bad.

[captain]

Whilst, YES in principal I agree - It can't be ALL bad, it does seem as if people will start a court case for anything.

i.e. Someone in Australia is trying to sue McDonalds because their child is overweight.

Abit ridiculous!!!

[Soledad]

Yeah, but it seems to me that this is one of those news stories that sounds ABSURD when you read the title, but starts to make more sense as you read more.

I don't agree with banning people from feeding their kids oreos, but I agree with people making harmful foods publicised and with holding companies accountable.

[Rachel]

In addition to there being so many foods that aren't good for us, there seems to be only a paltry effort made to produce or offer that which is good for us. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I'd love to be able to order some vegetable entrees or side dishes. Other than a salad, which I eat a home all the time, they just aren't offered. Or if I do order something that indicates part of the ingredients are vegetable, the amount of vegetables in the dish is miniscule.

I had to laugh when I first read this, Emily, because the first thing Christine said to me this morning was: "did you see the news. They are now saying not to eat Oreos!" (Great minds think alike)

Anyway, Not sure a suit is the answer but if it makes people aware of the trans fats then knowledge is a good thing. I believe that anything can be harmful to you and your family but I think if you eat things in moderation and promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle then your family will remain in good health.

But suing is not the answer! Maybe Nabisco and other companies will start labeling their foods so the average consumer can understand it.

lol

I agree--labels should contain all of the information--that makes sense to me--but a lawsuit?? I think some people are getting a little ridiculous!!
I may have to sue Pet Talk, because my husband gets so annoyed when I am on here all the time

Have you ever tried a deep-fried Oreo? It's covered in batter and fried--the inside gets all gooey! Delicious, but definately UNHEALTHY!

Not OREOs

I've already given up smoking - now they are asking way too much.

[RICHARD]

you'd have to eat 8,000 oreos to seriously clog your arteries..

now if we banned all lawyers we'd get rid of all the trans fat heads trying to make a buck...

[Jesus Freak!!!!]

wow, you are so true!!!!!
