What is the significance when Fast Food giant McDonalds decides to go trans-fat free?<\/p>\n

According to this report,<\/a> McDonalds is responding to public pressure to improve its image. As the most salient smiling image of unhealthy food, they fight the reputation of contributing to our nation weight and health problems.<\/p>\n

That may be, to some degree, completely deserved. But this article gives hope for improving the culture of health simply because they had to respond to pressure to provide healthier options.<\/p>\n

The substitute oils may be no better than then former oils, but the point is that they had to make a change because people demanded it.<\/p>\n

The good news of this article is not just about them providing “better” foods, but the fact that it was driven by people who demanded better choices. Of course, food manufacturers can serve whatever schlock they want, but we don’t have to buy it just because it’s there. This is the best way to change the culture for me and you and our family.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
