It's official, Canada has banned trans fats in food

Manufacturers must comply within one year. Yeh to better health.There was an article in tonights paper saying the House of Commons passed the NDP bill to ban all trans fats in foods.

Hey what city you live in? Would like to know the paper you read it in so i goto the website and read it to! Very good news, glad to here it, our choices at the market just got a whole lot heathier!! Cant wait. I guess food manufacturs are all scrambling with what to do about this, I supose it might make food a bit more expensive but it will be worth it in the long run when you concider the saving in public heath care due to the problems hydronated products cause.

Oops! sorry didn't mean to misinform, the blurb I read in the Toronto Star, although I don't live there, I interpreted as meaning it was a done deal.
