    MFP doesn't even allow us 1 gram
    Don't worry. You can customize your settings so that you can eat more.
    Why would anyone want to eat more trans fats?

    Sneaky, sneaky, I wouldn't put it past them their job is to sell as many of those products as possible - Kashi has a reputation of misleading consumers into thing their foods are organic by using phrases like 'All Natural'.

    I was watching a little snippet from Comcast about Trans Fat etc... we all know Trans fat is bad. MFP doesn't even allow us 1 gram.... but did you know even though companies have to label if their product contains trans fat under a certain percentage, about half... they can still list it as 0g Trans Fat... Look in the INGREDIENTS for Partially hydroginated, Hydroginated and Shortening... <-- thats trans fat!!

    I knew that. I always read ingredients.

    Trans fat is in pretty much every processed food out there, too. Anyone near a Publix should read the labels on everything in the bakery. 95% of it has trans fat in it.

    That is not misleading consumers, it would be the consumers fault for not understanding the difference. 'All natural' just means they are using natural ingredients, it has nothing to do with it being organic or not.

    I was thinking that, too. I mean, if it doesn't say "organic," why would something think it was organic?

    And the trans fat thing? It usually says, 0 grams trans fat PER SERVING. That's generally the give-away, if it's mentioned at all.

    Now do you consider naturally occurring trans fat and synthetic trans fat equally as bad?

    don't eat anything that needs a label to tell you how many additives are in it! fresh or frozen veg, salad, fresh or frozen meat or fish. most transf fats will probably be in tv dinners, ready meals etc

    Don't think you can pour out a whole bottle of butter spray and it's still zero calories.

    Sadly, my statement comes from a true story. Someone on here once thought they had the greatest low-cal recipe ever. It was actually 1200 calories more than they thought.

    Agreed, you'll occassionally see a post where someone is astounded when a spray cooking oil weighs in at exactly the same as any other oil. a milisecond spray does not a teaspoon make, and a teaspoon of oil is a teaspoon of oil no matter if you pour it, spray it, or freeze it and chop it into bits.

    I knew that. it's the same for things that are labelled fat free/sugar free/etc. As long as it's under a certain amount they can say there is none. That's why it is ALWAYS important to check the ingredient list...
