You can click the article to read it.

My thoughts: The FDA is banning something that Americans tend to find delectable in general. From donuts to American cheese, at least 75% of the American diet will close to an end as a result.
Do I find these food unhealthy? Absolutely.
Do I believe the government has a right to regulate what we eat? No.
Why is it they move so quickly to ban trans fats but they have to problem with Americans consuming chemicals which have had significant studies showing they have had a detriment on the human body?

Nanny state!

You cannot protect people from themselves. It's a humanistic concept that just... doesn't work. No man, woman, or group of men and women can change another human being's behavior. Stop trying, you're just interfering with people's lives.
 
[Personal Mental Assumption] Ah, so i need to stock up on foods with lots o' trans fat for weight gain.
[Pertaining To The Article] I bet the beloved donuts (and the likened) will be smuggled across borders like cocaine (and many other drugs).
 
My first thought is they are not doing this for health reasons. It is
one more step to take away our freedom and prepare us for the day
we are under control of One World Government.
Second thought ? If we do fall into the hands of Government control,
we will be grateful for whatever food we can get our hands on.
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus. ~

There will be a day when women in government positions will have cravings for these foods...and they can't get their quick fix because they banned them. Yes, I look forward to the day when donuts are considered contraband and fries are considered illegal. Just another reason to resist the government :D

ANARCHY, Down With The Government!!!!!!


On a more serious note, as long as the American population as a whole continues to lie back and let the system walk all over them and their rights then it will continue to happen
 
I'll bet that even as we speak, there are Mexican drug lords building huge doughnut factories just across the border.

They're building underground doughnut tunnels, hiring poor people to work as doughnut "mules", and setting up vast illicit doughnut networks.

Doughnut smuggling... the end is near.

And thus a new street drug is created... Dough for short.

I think more about protecting children who know no better. Their parents can't watch them all the time.

Wasn't this resolved in a different thread?
The substance known as "American Cheese" is counterfeit.

I don't believe this to be the case. Back in the olden days, people used lard for baking and frying.

Pros:
-tastes better
-less detrimental to the cardiovascular system

Cons:
-more expensive (if it's all that's available)
-shorter shelf-life

Krispy Kreme and Zingers ain't goin' nowhere. God's good.
 
The government is not stealing rights from us.

We gave them the right to dictate what we can eat when we pleaded for national health care.

If you want a heart attack by eating trans fats...no problem, just pay for it yourself and get the heck out of my wallet. Accept personal responsibility and

get a job.
