"The Real Meaning of 'Zero Trans Fats'
Only when the food*label*states "no trans fats" does it really mean there are none. The problem is that small amounts of these artery-clogging fats can add up quickly, especially if you eat several servings each day of foods that contain up to 0.5 grams per serving.

Reason: Miss-paraphrased
Some quotes from A. Hitler about how Propaganda works, they gained new relevance in our current social media populism times.
I can't find an English translation but here is one in German:
Quote:
Aber alle Genialität der Aufmachung der Propaganda wird zu keinem Erfolg führen, wenn nicht ein fundamentaler Grundsatz immer gleich scharf berücksichtigt wird. Sie hat sich auf wenig zu beschränken und dieses ewig zu wiederholen.
Obviously: comparing the current situation to Hitler's visions is my highest form of criticism.
(edit: this post sprang from the known but false quote "a lie repeat a thousand times becomes a truth")
