Minn. firms: Most trans fats already gone, but more work remains

I miss Trans-Fats, Oreos don’t taste or crunch the same and crackers nowadays just don’t hold up to peanut butter or other spreads - they just fall apart under the knife.
I miss the old Crisco too.

Many manufacturers replaced trans fats with other fake fats.
Can’t wait until they Ban those too - lol

“But trans fats still exist in some products. Carefully read nutrition labels and chose brands that don’t use trans fats and are low in saturated fat in these products:

Cookies, crackers, cakes, muffins, pie crusts, pizza dough, and breads such as hamburger buns
Some stick margarine and vegetable shortening
Pre-mixed cake mixes, pancake mixes, and chocolate drink mixes
Fried foods, including donuts, French fries, chicken nuggets, and hard taco shells
Snack foods, including chips, candy, and packaged or microwave popcorn
Frozen dinners”
