Canadians have one huge roadblock in here. To quote the article:

“What the Canadian doctors want to see is fairly straightforward:” …
“Cease the advice to replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated, refined vegetable oils”

One very-heavily invested word: Canola.

I think the other major road block is the lobbyist that are controlling the government’s. Trying to change policies in order to raise there bottom line.

That’s what I was getting at with the canola reference. Canada grows the vast majority of the world’s canola. It’s got to have a gigantic lobby. I would liken their canola fields to the poppies in The Wizard of Oz … gorgeous golden fields full of poison.

Sorry I didn’t get the reference :slightly_smiling_face:. But yea living in Canada I see canola fields every where, sometimes as far as the eye can see
