(FORWARDED MESSAGE FROM CANADA) NEW WORLD
Help protect our children and reduce heart attacks. As a supporter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, you can make a difference in our quest to remove artificial, heart-clogging trans fats from our foods.
Here's the Problem
The federal government gave the food industry two years to voluntarily reduce artificial trans fats from our foods – this period ended in June 2009. The government promised to regulate these fats out of foods if companies did not comply voluntarily. Although some companies rose to the challenge, others have not. Many foods, including those often consumed by children, are still riddled with deadly artificial trans fats.
Time's up, the verdict is in, regulations are urgently required.
We need your help. We urge you to write to the federal minister of health to request that the federal government live up to its commitment and introduce trans fat regulations.
We've made it easy for you.
Go to heartandstroke.ca/GoodbyeTransFats. Pick a sample letter, enter your name, and send it. Join us in sending a clear message to the federal government. It will save lives.
