Article concerns: Food and Drug Administration
hopes to eliminate artificial Trans fats from all processed foods.

Importance/Affect on individuals/families: The removal
of trans fats from the diet could significantly help lower heart disease in the
United States.

My view: This a great move by the F.D.A. to
remove trans fats from the American diet because it should have been done years
ago. The research has been there for a long time showing that trans fats are a
major cause for heart disease that afflicts many Americans. In many processed
foods that are cheap and easily accessible, trans fats are prominent and people
who do not have the money for healthy foods are only consuming these foods. Hopefully
the elimination of these foods will help to get rid of poor food choices in our
food system and help make steps toward a healthier nation.
