You will discover that, contrary to popular opinion, the research that supposedly shows that trans fats are so bad for you draws conclusions that are not supported by science at all.

Please read the article. This guy is not at all a whacko. He continually puts out great articles debunking the misconceptions of the day. Read JunkScience.com and you will learn a great deal.

Note: I have no connection to the author or his material. I’m just sick of public opinion that is based on myth and hype instead of science. That drives bad public policy and bad lawsuits (class action or otherwise).

Really? Without your consent? They shov it down your throat – force-feed you?

Seriously – get a grip. We may need a slight adjustment to labelling laws, but that is plenty.

Regarding the current prohibition of Marijuana I have to point out that “weed” consumption over here were it is available to anyone over 16 appears to be much, much lower than in the Good O” US of A where you can do jail time for simple possession. The police seem to like the confiscated cash that normally goes with drug busts so expect no changes anytime soon.
