Everybody dies from something....and in the end, it's always a heart attack. So what?

It's not just about living a few years longer or the obsessive fear of death, it's a real and serious quality-of-life issue *right now*. Trans fats disrupt the omega-3 pathway, causing severe skin rashes in some people (myself included) and other inflammatory symptoms in other people (asthma/allergies, etc).

I haven't eaten Oreos, or many other snack foods, in years.

I can understand your concern. If a person knows their condition, why would they partake of trans-fats? My objection is to the heavyhanded approach by the gubbmint to stop all people from having what they want, by way of food control. You're free not to eat old fashioned Oreos and I'm free to eat them. Please don't miss the point.
