The Savage is slain and trans-fat is out of the closet

[Guest guest]

According to today's Chron, anti-PETA activist extraordinaire Michael Savage

was fired from his talk show on MSNBC-TV news. He said he didn't know the

microphone was on when he commented that a gay caller should " get AIDS and

die. " That's one for PETA and the gay community, zero for Savage.

 

Also in today's Chron, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to

unveil a new rule requiring the makers of cookies, crackers and other

popular snack foods to list trans-fat amounts on nutrition panels. As

trans-fat, which comes from hydrogenated vegetable oils, is in so many

prepared foods and as it lowers HDL (good cholesterol) and raises LDL (bad

cholesterol) levels, that's good news for us all.
