Gee, and here I thought the four food groups were fat, sugar, sodium and alcohol. Silly me!

isn't desert at the top of the food triangle?

Indeed, butter was demonised for decades, such a shame. The experts that decide what is safe for us regarding food and pharmaceuticals are driven by money. The public’s interest and safety is secondary to profits, we see it again and again.
Governments have a duty to ensure food safety and encourage healthy eating as much as we have an individual duty to ourselves and our loved ones to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Not so easy it seems

We don't eat many trans fats. A tiny amount in the butter for morning toast. We use olive oil.

Yes, butter is great.
I sometimes prepare a mix of butter and olive oil, which is soft enough for easy spreading right out of the fridge...

Very Maharishi Mahesh Yogi! Or stating the flipping obvious

That sounds like something I should try.

I gave up believing what any government says about good or bad food after the US congress declared pizza is a vegetable

There are 3 food groups. Sugar, fat and chocolate. I find that cake is an exceedingly good source of all three.

Since this is Japan, where does Japan sit in adoption of banning these? Food labels could be improved here as well. Many just list Fat.

D'oh! I meant dessert.

I do not recall transfats ever being sold as healthy. They made foods taste good but we all knew they were bad for us. I've been hearing that drumbeat for at least two decades but I'm human and weak and those foods just taste so good ...................

Might depend on our age. I recall margarine being promoted for a very long time as a healthy alternative to butter. It really should be banned. Today, many are talking about banning it, but somehow it's still very widespread (pun not intended)...
