Answer to Question 1

Pro: Increases consumer awareness and ability to make better food choices. Many food manufacturers have changed food preparation and processing methods in order to decrease or eliminate trans fatty acids from many foods. Con: Food manufacturers are still allowed to label foods as trans fat-free if a serving has <0.5 g trans fatty acids, and list 0 g trans fat on its label and list shortening or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil on the Nutrition Facts label. This has caused enough concern that some cities have created trans fat-free zones.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
