"I don't touch trans fat at all," she said, her cart filled with soy milk, cage-free eggs and pure rice bran.

Just think with her eating that healthy her and her family could live to be in thier 80's or even 90's.....and eat that bland discusting crap 3 times a day for several decades.Joy oh joy.Do you know how much the rate of murder suicide is going to go up if a large amount of people switch over and force thier familys to switch over to a totally health food based diet?Buy lots of stock in crematoriums after the goverment bans trans fat from food thats all im saying.When 10:30 rolls around im going to go to burger king and order a bacon double cheeseburger with extra bacon and a couple of extra slices of cheese just to counteract the effects o f reading this story :-)

The new product comes in a green tub - a color consumers equate with being healthy.

Guess some of those old leftovers in my fridge are healthy after all. Hey kids - lunchtime!

"We want good-for-you food," Hemry said. "The hydrogenated oil is no good for you. Our rule is as close to God made it in the first place."

Fair enough, Mr. Wild Oats shopper. We're firing up the grill for God's own freshly butchered hog this weekend - care to join us??

Actually the bacon double cheeseburger is not all that high on trans fats, just their french fries. Trans fats are a good thing to avoid as your body can not digest them like regular fat, so it is a good thing to have on food lables.

Partially hydrogenated oils (in most margarines and in a lot of other things) are about the worst thing for your arteries. I still eat butter, but I try to stay away from PHO. Kraft macaroni & cheese is about the only one I've been able to find that doesn't have the partially hydrogenated oils. I wish they would come up with a decent saltine cracker without PHO's.

Go ahead because the items you named that you are going to eat are not full of trans fats. Trans fats are man made not God made. Since they came on the market diseases have sky rocketed. Good old food like you mentioned our great grandparents ate and did not have the cancer and heart disease we do. If you think about it Crisco and margarine both are solid at body temperature whereas butter melts at 98.6 degrees F. and that is why trans fats are not good for the body. They are more solid and therefore clogs the arteries. Good old lard that really makes food good is far better for us than all that vegetable oil that is hydrogenated as long as the lard isn't hydrogenated which they are also doing now. Another really good tasting oil especially in popcorn is coconut oil. It was nearly banned several years back and movie theaters stopped making their popcorn with it. Do you remember how good movie popcorn use to be. To know all of the good benefits of coconut oil visit tropicaltraditions.com and be amazed at how a really good tasting oil is actually really good for us. A lot of the new age health foods are very bad for us starting with most of the soy products which many people brag as being the main food that they eat instead of meat. People keep eating it thinking it is good for them and it is as bad for them as it taste. We do need to remember to eat vegetables and fruits to stay healthy as well as meat and try to not live on the highly processed foods such as too many TV dinners because they have been messed with to the point that many of the nutrients are processed out of them. Nothing wrong with good old meat and potatoes and veggies. Yum!

"cage-free eggs"

A lady was laughing last week in the grocery store when she saw that label on eggs...wanted to know why eggs needed a cage in the first place.

Seriesly, though, removing trans fats is a good thing. When I was in college, they weren't using them yet, all the baked goods had lard in them instead, or some other animal fat that didn't change viscosity with temperature. IMO, going back to lard would be the best solution.

I'm not sure why they changed from that in the first place, whether it was because of the Heart Assoc. or because they were after the kosher market in NYC.

Probably a cross beyween money (butter is about 7 times more expensive) and to increase product shelf life.

They changed because they have a much larger shelf life over fats like lard.

I've started buying Eggland's Best eggs. No additives or hormones in the feed. They have a better taste than regular eggs.

The solution is simple - replace them with lard, butter, palm kernel oil or coconut oil. :)

Yummy! Can I come over? It's winter here, several months away from pig roasting season.

This trans-fat craze is just a fad that will pass. Reasearch shows that we actually need some in our diet, especially kids during their growing years. Everything in moderation is still the best diet.

Eating too much Tofu isn't healthy either, it can cause homone imbalances in women, as well as a higher risk of breast cancer, infertility, while in men it causes a decrease in testostrone, elevated estrogen levels, man- breasts, reduced sperm counts.

I wouldn't doubt if it's the cause of moonbat leftist thinking disease, causing them to walk around with picket signs with bizzare theories written on them.

Wow! I just caught a part of a news story that some woman just gave birth (by c-section of course!) of a 17LB. baby!
It looks like a very fat 6 month old.
(The mother was no lightweight either)

I'd be very curious to read that research. Do you have a source?

Trans fats are made by infusing regular oils with hydrogen sometimes with metals or high temperatures. Check out http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4776 for a better explanation.

Actually... Wild Oats and other stores like it (Sprouts, Whole Foods Market) have a great butcher section with very high quality meat!
