Fat wont kill ya IMHO. Trans Fat however has been modified by man to have a long shelflife. Its pretty nasty stuff and I think a lot of other "processed food" is probably bad for us.

That said I dont think it should be illegal. I remember as a kid when the first DQ came to town, a kid dropped an icecream cone in the parking lot in july and a week later I marveled that it basically still retained its shape. I dont eat that stuff generally. Give me good old frozen custard

My great grandparents ate eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast all thier lives and lived into thier late 90s.

Best to stay far away from a lot of the cheap fats and stick to real butter, almond, walnut or grapeseed oils, olive oil, etc..... and stay away from Canola Oil.

Same here. They NEVER worried about what they ate, never heard of cholesterol, high blood pressure, yada, yada, yada,... Kind of makes your wonder how the human race survived.

And you attribute this to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil?
