Should we ban Trans Fats

We wrote about banning Trans Fats over 10 years ago yet many foods still have them amongst the long list of ingredients, often in tiny writing. No wonder many countries have already banned them, so why haven’t the UK.

According to the British Medical Journal banning the toxic fats found in some cakes, biscuits and other products would cut the number of people dying from heart disease and save the NHS £265m a year.

I don’t want to have to take my glasses shopping and have to study the list of ingredients on everything I buy. And there are lots of ways of producing delicious food without them.

So please ban them now.

We need to start cooking and enjoy cooking cakes and biscuits using natural ingredients. The Great British Bake Off is one of the most popular shows on TV. Let’s all get baking and even sell our creations locally!
