trans fats, are a dangerous type of food put in our diets today not by choice. It is a manufactured fat, that is cheaper than butter, and other natural oils, that holds a certain consistency at room temperature.

When it gets into the body, the body does not know what to do with it. So it floats around in the blood stream until it ends up adhering to bloodstream walls, i.e. partially being responsible for arterosclerosis.

However in a free society, we should choose if we want those tasty snacks, other food items or not.

Have a nice day.

I remember science and government telling us NOT to eat butter, eggs, bacon, etc... because of the fat and that they were going to kill us. They told us instead to use margarine.

Now Margarine is going to kill us and they are banning trans-fat.

That is why i just eat what I want to eat and often ignore the conventional science of the day.

Sort of like when they were saying coffee would give you a heart attack. Now a fresh cup of coffee is GOOD for you and fights cancer!

A book on basic nutrition could save you from making silly statements like this in the future.

Then feel free to grow your own meat, vegetable, grain, and dairy products.
