News from the Washington Post

Why is this type of news on Amiga.org? DFX the owner of Amiga.org has an unreleased underground kult film exposing the dangers of Trans Fats. Trans Fat is a Killer in your food. Amiga's were used in the production of the unavailable film.

Quote

"The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday took steps toward eliminating trans fats in food products, all but ensuring that the artery-clogging ingredient gradually will vanish from the U.S. food supply.

A common ingredient in processed foods such as frozen pizzas, frostings, microwave popcorn and coffee creamers, trans fats have increasingly disappeared from grocery stores and restaurant menus in recent years amid widespread agreement about the risks they pose to public health.

New York and other cities have imposed bans on the substance, and in 2006 the FDA began requiring food manufacturers to print details about trans fats on nutritional labels. Those efforts appear to have put a significant dent in the consumption of trans fats. According to the FDA, intake among Americans declined from 4.6 grams per day in 2003 to about one gram per day last year.

But Thursday’s announcement was a move toward eliminating their use altogether."

That's it.  I'm done.

ADMINS: I come here for Amiga, not politics.   I can get non-Amiga stuff plenty of other places.  Delete my account effective immediately.

Don't know what that is, and don't care.  The fact that my account is still active and your response was to post a video and not delete my account, or even bother to contact me, shows me in finality the level of respect you have for your users.

Even if the news could be interesting and I think there IS a place for it, it's definitely not on the front page as Amiga news, but hey it's their site, they choose the direction they want to give it, there are other Amiga sites for us to use, choice is good.

You were contacted already, also you know accounts don't get deleted on Amiga.org because it would mess up the datebase of the site and it make unrealiable for all members. The forum software we use does not react well to deleting accounts and screwing up posts that were made by that member and the included threads the posts are in. If it's not already clear in the terms of service I will update them to explain that accounts don't get deleted on Amiga.org to protect the health and stability of the site. I strive to keep Amiga.org 99% Amiga/AROS/MorphOS & Amiga Virtual Machine related. Occasionally you may see other tech news that is also of interest to most of our members. Feel free to avoid those news items or if your convictions against this are so strong maybe Amiga.org is not the site for you.

You can remove yourself from Amiga.org easy, remove your e-mail address from your account then reset your password to something random that you don't know. If you like I can do this for you or give you a permanent ban. The choice is yours. In this case the ban would be because you requested it and not a infraction against you. Thus you could request your account be reinstated at anytime in the future. We enjoy you being a member of Amiga.org and maybe we can agree to disagree on some things so you can stick around and continue to post on the site. It's really up to you.

I don't see why LoadWB blew up about off-topicness when a quick look at his post history shows him rambling about ObamaCare™ in the "Amiga.org Discussion and Site Feedback" sub forum.

As my major was in Pre-Veterinary Animal Science (don't ask, its silly complicated) and I've had a lot of courses covering food science, I will say that the moderator's point about the dangers of long chain polymerized fats is not an exaggeration.

But then again, and before I get moderated out of here for awhile, what the HECK is this stuff doing here?

The electric car posts were off base enough, but this has no real place in the forum.

It's here because we used Amiga's to help make a unreleased film about the dangers of Trans Fats and get bugged all the time about when it's coming out. We may release some of the footage from the film at some point in the future.

Now that would make it interesting.
I thought video editing on the Amiga was a relatively dead issue, until I stumbled upon a large number of eBay buyers that were still rabidly supporting that stuff.

I thought the bargain basement prices on video toaster boards was an indication of their fading popularity.

@Iggy
Also whilst Video Toasters may have seen better use in the 90´s with analog video editing, there is still many other Amiga hardware & software combinations that can provide NLE capabilities, which seem more reasonable these days.

Just to name a few:

DPS TBC IV + DPS PAR (Necos)
Macrosystem Vlab Motion (Movieshop)
Digital Micronics/Applied Magic   Broadcaster (Producer)

As a matter of fact, I actively do my own videoediting stuff in a DraCo, wich is a specialized Amiga like workstation designed for NLE,  running AmigaOS.

Thanks for posting, good to see people are still making use of their Amigas.

I am joining LoadWB. I guess this is the thread to announce that you are leaving.
 
Before I leave I want to say I had nothing to do with any computers being peed on. It is pure fiction. Who wants to be blamed for peeing on computers? Also, keep in mind the seller was a girl, I am guy, living a city away from where this girl was. I wish she would join and explain herself.
