NYC mulls ban on trans fats in eateries
Do please keep in mind that I live in Canada, so my tax dollars go to public healthcare. In some provinces, half the GDP can go to paying for our health system. In the American system, you pay insurance rates which is fairer in the sense that if you're healthy, you pay fewer premiums. I hate the fact that my tax dollars go to "Fatty" who's having his third bypass surgery, instead of maybe fixing the massive potholes down the street.

Renault Koleos Concept
The name "Koleos" sounds very Korean... I guess I'm just thinking Daewoo Kalos... It looks ok, I guess. But I don't think it's much to write home about. Then again, in France, maybe it is.

NYC mulls ban on trans fats in eateries
See, I'd normally agree. But when 109 Million Adults in the North American population are overweight or obese... (61% of the population) you know you have a problem. It's an epidemic, and plus, the fat parents aren't doing their kids much good by making their kids fat, genetics or not. This shows that people are too lazy, selfish or too embarrased to make a change. Sometimes, people need to be told how to act and governed. Yes it's almost totalitarian, but even democratic societies sometimes have to wake up and face the facts as well. There are about 300,000 deaths annually in America that are attributed to "fat." and this also costs the health system billions...

NYC mulls ban on trans fats in eateries
I'm never usually for intrusive regulation, but I'm going to side with Croc on this one. My country is mulling a similar ban, and already many snack foods (such as Lays) up here have had their trans fats eliminated, which helps to prove that changing the recipe isn't that hard. One of our cookie companies, spent almost half a million dollars changing their recipe and eliminated Trans Fats. Their sales have increased because many of Nabisco's offerings still contain these fats. Eateries should follow suit because Trans Fats are becoming a major factor in heart disease and obesity in general. These fats have a tendency to go straight around your abdominal muscles, thus poorly affecting your health. However, people will instantly think McDonalds is the culprit for all this. In fact, McDonalds, at least in Canada, has the lowest average Trans Fat amounts in their food, because the company is actively trying to reduce the amounts of partially hydrogenated fats. You'd be surprised to realize that Starbucks had the highest average of Trans Fats in it's foods. CTV News Link and that some of its beverages have more fat than a Big Mac... For the sake of our well being, these fats should be banned.

You know you grew up in the 90s when...
Holy Christ! I'm not the only one on this planet that watched Freakazoid! Heh... I actually have some episodes on my laptop that I found on the P2P networks. The genius behind that show and Pinky and the Brain was lost on me when I was a kid, but I saw some of the episodes again at my age and laughed my ass off.

2007 Chevy Silverado HD Images
I like the GM better, but the Silvy still looks totally awesome. As for the wheels... well, what do you want? These bad boys are built to work... so I could care less about their wheels' size.

WOW! New real-world pics of the Outlook!
Not bad. Not bad at all. This one is my least favorite of the Lambda's, but I'm pretty pleased with how it looks. I can't wait to see what the base and midline models will look like. These models will determine how well these vehicles stack up against the competition.

2007 Galant Ralliart
It's just that the Galant isn't what comes up in most peoples' minds when "midsize FWD sedan" is mentioned, providing the lay person knows what FWD is... They'll liklely think Camry, or Accord. Mitsu needs to get this car into people's heads as a viable competitor. So I think equipping this car with the Evo's system, or a similar one could add some real excitement to potential buyers. Get people thinking about the Evo, and then mention that the Galant Ralliart with AWD, and Mitsu could see a few more sales. Why get a dowdy ol' Camry, when you can have a mean AWD machine with plenty of goodies for a cheaper price than the Camry?

2007 Galant Ralliart
Something about it having the Ralliart tag just makes me think "RiceBoy." Give it the Evo's AWD system, and THEN they'll have a car people want.
