    I checked with the NSW Food Authority and found out there is no legal obligation for a food manufacturer to state the amount of trans fat in a food product. I don't think this is right. To start listing the amount of sodium and saturated fat but not mention the amount of trans fat that may be quite high, I would call this obfuscation.

    If it doesn't look healthy, it probably isn't.
    If it has oil or fried. It's not healthy.

    That's all you gotta know.

    Disagree. Read the book Big Fat Lies by David Gillespie.Don't be fooled by food presentation. Also, low fat diets have been shown associated with depression,Do you know what LCHF stands for?

    Hrmm, no. I don't think I will. I keep a well maintained body by my own methods.

  6. You need to be careful with that one. Because if you are looking to eat something that is tasty and it's full of those fats you will lose the nice taste in the foods you love to eat.

    This is what i do.

    I cut out mostly take away foods.

    For example burgers

    In favour of making my own.

    You might go and buy subway.

    The next week you might go to the supermarket and buy some bread rolls and make your own subway roll or wrap.

    I dunno, not fried or oily or coated in dressing.
    There's a big difference between a healthy hamburger and something you buy from a takeout store.

    But I'm not going to argue because I know my diet and foods work for me, I got the results, soooo yeah. :)

    I think this too seems to be changing. There are healthy take out options now in a lot of cities.

    I always remember the BBC documentary on trans-fat where they discovered that much of it in the UK originates from 'Booker' (the giant catering wholesaler)
    They then went to investigate and discuss the matter with them and the interview was carried out in front of a giant cardboard cutout of Gordon Ramsay with the slogan "Gordon Ramsay, the face of Booker" below..
    Within 2 hours all the Booker branches were burning all their Gordon Ramsay cutouts in the carpark.

    Shortly after we got married, I asked Jane why she put LOL at the bottom of several of her letter and emails. She looked a bit puzzled, so I asked her what she thought that it meant,
    Without a moments hesitation she replied "Love our Lord".
    She said that she had been taught that at school. The joys of going to a convent school in Ireland where all of her teachers were Nuns.
