It's LEGAL to print "0g trans fats" If it contains less than 0.5

Someone made a comment on a newspaper here

i thought it was very much on point and funny:

And that's a big deal. To have no idea what the 0g really means.

If you're trying to avoid trans fats, what the fuck do you do

@Scribblehatch banning things.... should be banned 😂

How do you find out?

"What isnt required by law, is banned by law, everything else is covered by fining people"

So trans fats themselves were banned.

Which pretty much sums up the state of belgium at this point im not even being sarcastic

And as far as I know, all has been well.

Took the edge off of shopping for shit.

Didn't have to enter an existential crisis for each item.

The fact that it's legal to round down to 0 when beneath 0.5

What the fuck is that.

U guys ever heard about this whole dieselgate thing

surely u did

Non

no?

in the uk?

in the west at large

gov was saying buy diesel its cleaner now saying oh shit it isnt. is that what you mean?

ok well in a nutshell, certain cars from certain car manufacturers were putting out more emissions then the EU regulations dictated they could

no

thats another thing

An actual journalist over here in belgium found it out

turns out these cars were tested

iirc, the emissions were tested from when u went from 0 to 70kmh or something like that

in 26 seconds

i cant remember the clear numbers

Point is, in the first few meters you simply walk away from the car on foot

nobody drives like that, thats the point

@tritrium vw

ahh

I was listening to Dankula in a stream earlier.

yes VW was one of them

He was saying one huge difference between this generation and the ones before

Is that news used to be gospel

The thing is, that whole fiasco reminded me of communism

People would hear something on TV and just believe it their whole lives.

And this generation disputes everything and looks it all up.
