sigh, when will someone wake up and realize it's not the fat the is the real problem, it are the carbohydrates....

Wow! That is really dumb! Talk about a government using ignorance to their benefit. :roll:

The sad part is, surely many other governments will follow suit, if for no other reason, just to collect the extra tax money. Shame on them.

Absolutely ridiculous. I agree with the carbs but I think so much is just people eating the wrong foods and in excess. Let's all get back to good home cooking and stop the fast-food train.
