    Good. Then we can move towards criminal penalties for pastry chefs and restaurants that serve fattening food.

    And that's why I only eat Krispy Kreme donuts.
    They're healthy.

    This is awesome. There is no good reason to "cook" with this stuff.

    Love the 2pt font "Per Serving." Should really say "0.4g Trans Fat [nanosize writing] Per Serving [/nanosize writing]"

    That being said...mmmm, donuts.

    I live in Canada. I don't think trans fats have been banned, per se, but most restaurants and food manufacturers are moving that way with changing cooking oils and things.

    For me, the biggest problem with trans fat labeling is that there's no distinction made between natural trans fats, as is listed as an area of concern in the other thread. I noted that my Greek yogurt has trans fats in it that come from nothing but the milk products.

    I really think people have this "want to have my cake and eat it too" mentality with their fast food. They want their delicious tasting junk to be "healthy" too. I think this is ridiculous behavior. Just try to prove to me that banning trans fats will have any discernible impact on people's overall health when they're still eating crap food.

    My thought is I should be in control of what I want to do with my food, what I want to eat and how I want to fix it. Even if you personally feel it is not right for you, it is not right to force that opinion on others. I personally don't like cigarette smoking and don't like being around people who smoke, but a smoker chooses that, and it is his/her business, not mine. Just because we don't like something, we should not cheer when other people's rights are affected.

    So tired of the police-state mentality.
