Have you seen Supersize Me? I have and it put me off fast foods for at least a month! I’m reminding you of it because of the recent attempt to ban trans fat in all of New York’s 20 thousand food outlets. It’s interesting to see how our modern-day society is “attempting” new things all the time to reduce obesity. In 2005, a young English chef called Jamie Oliver, better known as the naked chef, was able to convince the Tony Blair to change the food offered in school canteens all over the United Kingdom as a measure to prevent unhealthy foods I the country’s schools… and it seems to be working. But still, the US has the highest number of obsess people in the world. About 65% of the population is overweight. So as societies try their best to warn the public of the dangers of fast food and unhealthy deists, why isn’t anything working?

I’ll tell you why…
If you want to know how much fat you’re allowed in your diet, consider this:

There's no official recommended daily allowance (RDA) for trans fats, but eat just half a doughnut, and you've hit the 2-gram daily limit, according to Carlos Camargo, MD, DrPH, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

So just imagine how much extra fat we’re having!
Is it even possible not to get fat?
