Monday, September 17<sup>th<\/sup> was the last day that food which contains artificial trans-fat could be manufactured.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>\n\nThis change has come due to the rise in heart disease in Canada. Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor explained that &#8220;Health Canada&#8217;s ban on partially hydrogenated oils in the food supply is part of the government of Canada&#8217;s action to help protect Canadians from diet-related chronic disease.&#8221;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>\n\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>The ban will apply to all food sold in Canada including imports, as wells as food served in restaurants of every variety.\n\nHowever, even though the ban has been in place for over a month now it does not mean all the food you purchase will be free of artificial trans-fats. The government is allowing a grace period of two years until all artificial trans-fat containing products have to be off the shelves, due to the fact some products produced before the ban still can be purchased. &#8220;Health Canada estimates that within three years, there will not be any kind of trans fat products on the shelves.&#8221;\n\nThis change will not be a fast one, 3 years is only an estimate, it may be even longer. However, it is a necessary stepping stone into improving legislation regarding diet. There are many other potential candidates for food bans in the future, such as a ban on energy drinks to children, this action shows diet regulation is an important topic and banning artificial trans-fats is a small step in the right direction to a healthier future.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-30ce406\" data-id=\"30ce406\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ee4bc5 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-category-list\" data-id=\"9ee4bc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-category-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/in-the-news\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">In The News<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/your-health\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Your Health<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2022\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2022<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2021\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2021<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2020\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2020<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae32437 elementor-grid-eael-col-1 elementor-grid-tablet-eael-col-2 elementor-grid-mobile-eael-col-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-post-grid\" data-id=\"ae32437\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;eael_post_grid_columns&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;eael-col-2&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-post-grid.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"eael-post-grid-ae32437\" class=\"eael-post-grid-container\">\n            <div class=\"eael-post-grid eael-post-appender eael-post-appender-ae32437 eael-post-grid-style-default\" data-layout-mode=\"masonry\"><article class=\"eael-grid-post eael-post-grid-column\" data-id=\"1916\">\n        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder\">\n            <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder-inner\"><div class=\"eael-entry-wrapper\"><header class=\"eael-entry-header\"><h2 class=\"eael-entry-title\"><a\n                        class=\"eael-grid-post-link\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/2023\/01\/26\/it-gave-me-the-comfort-i-needed\/\"\n                        title=\"&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;\">&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;<\/a><\/h2><\/header><div class=\"eael-entry-content\">\n                        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-excerpt\"><p>&#8220;I want to thank all those who donated in support of the sleeper reclinerchairs.
