Thanks, Diane :)  Our government has such a history of using poor "science"
(aka what helps corporations usually) that I shudder at them getting
involved like this.  Just think of the damage they have done by simply
recommending a high carbohydrate/low fat diet for everyone - even diabetics.
How many millions of dollars have we spent on chronic health problems
created by their recommendations, not to mention the personal suffering they
have caused?  If they ban saturated fats I guess we will have to start a
black market!  Paula H.

=================I  wanted to share your thoughts via fb, Paula
H.Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be), the "form" doesn't
work for me.  I have filled out all bars and after a multitude of tries, it
still doesn't go.However, I did appreciate your clarity on freedoms and food
issues.
