I ate Fleischmann's margarine for more than 50 years, until I switched to Earth Balance spread last November. My new spread boasts no transfats, yet tastes exactly like Fleischmann's did (therefore I like it a lot).

I use the same margarine, but here we go again with the government telling me what I can eat and cannot eat. WTF good is our government telling me I can't eat trans fats, can't smoke marijuana, can't play online poker for money, but I can drink all the booze I want and take all the narcotic pains pills and tranquilizer's and kill myself. Again WTF?

There's not even one person running for President that won't leave me alone and stop telling me what I can and cannot partake in.

I remember when Fleischmann's decided to change the flavor of their margarine so it had a more buttery taste--this was back in 1998. I boycotted the brand and mailed them a nastygram letter. I spent a good amount of time looking for a new margarine to eat, too. I think I settled on Mazola, eventually.

I guess they received so much backlash over this change, that after about 6 months they reverted back to the old flavor, and sent free coupons to everyone who complained about it. Serves them right.... 'effing suckers....

I have had to change my eating habits since my heart attack last November. My wife is even pushing me to stop eating milk chocolate, but I am fighting back on that one. I gotta have a little chocolate every day, or I start craving it real bad. The 72% cacao dark chocolate (the healthy stuff) does not work to reduce my cravings for milk chocolate.

Hey, that was a great article, PPCA. I read parts of it to my wife and then she started ragging on me about how I should just quit eating it altogether.... I have 3 giant-size Hershey bars that I got at Walmart late last week in my desk drawer that I am nibbling on a square at a time. They'll last me for about 3 weeks, then I will have to replenish my supply.

And sugar is really bad for you all around, but I have failed two attempts to give up sugar completely in the past 3 years.

So you're hiding your mistress (chocolate) from your wife in a drawer of all places? I hadn't eaten chocolate in about 6 months and then we hired this new receptionist that fills a candy dish daily on her desk with little chocolate candy bars. I try to pass them up but they seem to jump at me when I walk by. They scream eat me.

That is about the size of it...... I am not really hiding it, though.

My wife doesn't want me to drink cokes any more, doesn't want me to eat chocolate... When I was working I drank 1-2 cokes every day; now I get one about every 6 weeks if I am lucky.

I think I should just take up drinking whiskey, and maybe I will forget about missing these other small pleasures in my life. drunken

It's not as if trans-fats offer any added flavor or value to the consumer. They are artificial, hydrogenated oils that are added to processed foods simply to give them a longer shelf life. That's it.

It's simply amazing that it is legal to add something like that to our food supply and not even be required to tell people that what they're consuming contains what is essentially poison. We're fortunate to have an FDA out there that was able to 1) at least require that this sort of thing be labeled and now 2) get rid of it entirely as it serves no purpose to the end consumer whatsoever.

True, but when McDonalds used it in their fry oil the fry's were so much better. Don't like their fry's now.

The first McDonald's where I grew up had a French fry cutting room, where they cut their own fries. Boy, they were good--I am sure not healthy, but they tasted great.

WASHINGTON -- A group of scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday sent a letter to President-elect Barack Obama's transition team pleading with him to restructure the agency,saying managers have ordered,intimidated and coerced scientists to manipulate data in violation of the law.

The nine scientists,whose names have been provided to the transition team and to some members of Congress,say the FDA is a "fundamentally broken" agency and describe it as place where honest employees committed to integrity can't act without fear of reprisal.

"There is an atmosphere at FDA in which the honest employee fears the dishonest employee," according to the letter,addressed to John Podesta, head of Mr. Obama's transition team

The scientists' main concerns are with the agency's scientific review process for medical devices,which they characterize as having been "corrupted and distorted by current FDA managers,thereby placing the American people at risk."

The Nanny State of semi-retired President Obama marches on!

President Obama had nothing to do with my switch from Fleischmann's margarine. My heart attack last November helped me with this decision.

Hear, hear, Boards!  Well spoken and right on the money.  This is NOT a "nanny state" move but exactly the kind of thing that any good government is supposed to do!    My husband has heart disease and I can tell you right now we're all in favor of this step to rid the nation's store shelves of an insidious ingredient -- passed off as innocuous all these years by its very ubiquitous appearance on food labels -- that does eminently more harm than any good it ever did -- except, of course, for the producers' bottom lines.

I don't use margarine...it's hydrogenated. I use butter...sometimes mixed with olive oil. When I fry something, I mix olive oil (Omega 3) with the vegetable oil (Omega 6). Other good Omega 3 oils are grapeseed, flaxseed, and coconut. I will use these to saute, because Omega 3's are beneficial oils. If you want to reduce butter in a recipe, use applesauce. Try honey instead of sugar in baked goods. I don't drink cokes...maybe 1 every few months. And I avoid anything containing high fructose corn syrup. I hope this is helpful.
