This goes for sex ed, environmental ed, life style choices, etc.<br />The purpose of schools is not to indoctrinate children with every new whim or belief. We present accurate information, assist them in thinking through the info, and help kids make good decisions.<br /><br />I am an educator in elementary and we do teach healthy nutrition along with reading, writing, math, physical education, art, music, social studies, science, social skills, foreign languages, multi-culturalism, other health issues. Full agenda! We struggle to get parents/families to review student's work and practice reading. I suppose an instrutional strategy I could implement is to SHAME kids and their parents for buying Skippy peanut butter or the like? <br /><br />The issue is not trans-fats and health ... the issue is liberty!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018771770605872507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-1169741395817804712007-01-25T08:09:00.000-08:002007-01-25T08:09:00.000-08:00With fascination I read the articles and comments....With fascination I read the articles and comments. I agree with all the comments until I got to foodlove. What a naive idiot. Restaurants today, grocery stores tomorrow what other choices do we lose. I think it is up to the manufactuers to just stop making transfat products. The problem is it should not be regulated at the city or county level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-1169693646333027572007-01-24T18:54:00.000-08:002007-01-24T18:54:00.000-08:00Its not such a bad thing to ban trans fats. Think...Its not such a bad thing to ban trans fats. Thinking cheese and butter are next is mildly paranoid. The ban is on restaurants.. if you really want them --then put em in your own recipes. Choice is important-true. But the higher good and the moral dilemma out ranks the mute point of choice. We live in a nation of people with severe food issues, have a little heart and nutrition awareness. A little help could go long way. Bottomline --wholesome ingredients, unaltered, direct from the earth. xooxoxD&CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-1169684570719225812007-01-24T16:22:00.000-08:002007-01-24T16:22:00.000-08:00Best wishes you all, from Istanbul :)Best wishes you all, from Istanbul :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-1169655783809876102007-01-24T08:23:00.000-08:002007-01-24T08:23:00.000-08:00Another L.A.

County public health agency. Expect more on this in the coming weeks.<BR/><BR/>TG- agreed that transfats are not good for you. My concern is that there are many other unhealthy things out there that pose a greater health risk to the user and those around him, i.e. cigarettes, alcohol during pregnancy. Individuals are the right to make a choice with these with warnings. Post warnings on transfats, not bans.sylvie1950https://www.blogger.com/profile/00691409554634095200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-1169653971674192062007-01-24T07:52:00.000-08:002007-01-24T07:52:00.000-08:00i support the ban, just as i support bans on asbes...i support the ban, just as i support bans on asbestos, lead and certain pesticides :) trans fats are a modern chemically created aberration... they are avoidable and are more deadly than just a notation on a nutritional sidebar would indicate. when Denmark banned them on a national level the US fast food chains adjusted to suit.
