Colorado - the nation's trimmest state - is considering enacting the nation's strictest trans-fat ban in school food. Other states have banned trans-fat from cafeteria food, but Colorado's law would eliminate it from vending machines, bake sales and all before- and after-school activities.

Is this good public health policy, or is the government going too far?

Kerri's guests are Anne Cooper, the director of nutrition services for the Boulder Valley School District and author of "Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed Our Children," Baylen Linnekin, founder of Keep Food Legal, and Liz Williams, president of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum.

Is is good public policy to not allow arsenic in food?

Trans-fats are no different - they are poison. It just takes a little longer than a good shot of Hemlock.

Of course the same thing could be said for the following FDA Approved items commonly found in mass produced food:

Aspartame - over 60 known adverse side effects.

GMO corn, soy, and sugar beets - linked to reproductive failure, allergic reactions, and who knows what else since no long term studies have been done.

High Fructose Corn Syrup - which feeds cancer cells, and frequently has high levels of Mercury because of the means by which it is manufactured.

Food colorings - particularly Red are toxic carcinogens but the FDA allows them in your food.

And many others.

Eliminating Trans-fats is a start and eliminating many other, ha ha, FDA Approved products is another big step to protecting your health.
