We're gearing up for another #FoodFri Tweetchat!
This week MomsRising and our guest, Tamara Walker, a registered nurse, public speaker and Mom Blogger will discuss artificial trans fat, it's effects on our bodies and the proposed Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") ban.
Although artificial trans fat has already been banned in New York City, Philadelphia, California and Illinois restaurants, the proposed FDA ban would label artificial trans fat non-GRAS or not "generally recognized as safe," thereby, eliminating the use of artificial trans fat by food makers.
So, why is this important?
Join @MomsRising and @MomRN today on Twitter at 1 p.m., EST, to find out! To join and follow the conversation use the #FoodFri Hashtag in each tweet.
