Trans Fats Could be Banned in Texas. This article is an interesting read. I believe it would greatly benefit everyone involved. Educating the public about the foods they are consuming and the risks involved with certain diet decisions can lead them to make better choices. Making better choices can lead to a longer healthier life. Also, it can work in the states favor by reducing strain on the healthcare system and drastically reducing the cost associated with obesity. State Representative Carol Alvarado has proposed two bills, 1522 & 1523. Fifteen-twenty-two requires fast food establishments to post nutritional information and 1523 would ban any restaraunt from serving food with trans fats. For those of you who do n0t know exactly what trans fats are, trans fats unlike other fats are not essential, they do not promote good health. The consumption of trans fats increase your chance for coronary heart disease, they lower your good cholesterol and raise your bad cholesterol. Passing these bills will be a win for government as well as it's citizens. Besides, the longer we live, the more taxes we get to pay.
