Eliminating trans fats may not help with obesity, but it does help to impede cholesterol problems, therefore that sentence should be changed.

:funny thing about transfat bans is that they aren't used very often, and that they don't make things tastier (that would be regular and saturated fats). Transfats are used because they are resilient to time. You will find them mostly in frosting and candy bars. I always though a fat tax would be better than a ban. That way the government could either increase revenue or discourage unhealthy eating patterns. Like we do with cigarettes.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 13:21, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Forgot the sig last time. I think that's a good idea, but with the way we measure obesity, namely with BMI, muscular people tend to be mis-categorized. One must be careful with how such is implemented.--[[User:LucRenardeux|LucRenardeux]] 13:37, 15 June 2011 (EDT)
