Man you guys are slow. Oils, by definition, are fats. There is no such thing as oils that are not fatty. So to ban fatty oils is a redundant statement and it means to ban all oils. Geez. Learn the language people. TC >> >Wonder where they plan on getting non-fatty oils. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Geez. Learn the language people. You can't be serious? OK. Take it slowly. Not all fats are the same. The chemical structure of a fat is basically a hydrocarbon chain. Now, that chain can be "saturated" - so that all the carbons connect with a single bond and hydrogens saturate the chain. Oh, hell...here's a good description: http://drinc.ucdavis.edu/dairychem6_new.htm It's not about banning fat. It's about banning a fat that has LONG been known to be poorly assimilated and that basically gums up the works, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity. Unless you're starting to become a devotee of Monty's horseshit. George M. Carter > >> >Wonder where they plan on getting non-fatty oils. > >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > George M.

The headline of the piece was: > >"NYC bans fatty oil" > >Name me one vegetable oil that is not fat. No, I'm illiterate. Can't read or write. I see--so that was your way of making fun of a silly re line and you do understand the distinction. A relief of a sort. > Do you know how to read?

Many more carried the same story with "NYC bans trans fats". no surprise but it is funny. > googling "NYC bans fatty oil" shows several papers carried the AP > story with the ignorant headline. Many more carried the same > story with "NYC bans trans fats". Obviously you all know little about transfats .. please do some reading up: http://www.bantransfats.com/abouttransfat.html Note 'alternatives' section. joanne > > googling "NYC bans fatty oil" shows several papers carried the AP > > story with the ignorant headline.

Try reading the thread again. The full headline is: "NYC bans fatty oil, orders calorie disclosures" Reading the article makes the context clear: "[NYC] is becoming the first city in the country to ban all restaurants from using artificial trans fats, while requiring hundreds of eateries to post food calorie counts right on their menus." Headline writers are the page layout blokes, not the grunts who actually write the articles, or even those who edit the articles. |
