IS THE END OF fat?
September 24, 2008 by Julian Garcia
The revised season, edition 539, as a matter of bringing a new law hood over and this time it is targeting, in the struggle for health, food fat.
Well, as I shall find that many nutritionists love the news, it was that we needed to compel people to their food as it should etc ... but not quite.
Actually I quite agree with the law and dry with the ban on smoking in all enclosed environments collectives. Okay, I agree that everyone knows about his life and makes it what you want, drink, smoke, a enfim each is responsible for his own life. But in both cases (drinking and smoking) will interfere with the life and health of others, are causing accidents by drunk driving or smoking near people who are forced to inhale the smoke of cigarettes of others.

Already in the case of consuming fatty foods, the government would establish a deadline, between 3 and 5 years, so that 100% of food produced in the country no longer use trans fat (fat obtained by the addition of a molecule of hydrogen to vegetable oil makes a it solid) and the World Health Organization recommends that only 1% of the calories consumed daily and has resulted in trans fats.
The government argues that the trans fat, among other factors, causes an increase in bad cholesterol (LDL), and it increases spending on hospitalizations, surgeries and treatments of diseases resulting from poor nutrition.
It is correct that spending on health would be much smaller if people are aware and have a more healthy diet, but in my opinion is not banning the consumption of fatty foods that will resolve the health of people, because in that case who eat, will eat in their homes anyway.
The ideal would be a work of prevention and awareness of the population, the government is investing in prevention through nutrition education can achieve the same goals without interfering and controlling people's lives.
For more information about health, always consult a professional in the area.
