Oreo cookies should be banned from sale to children in California, according to a lawsuit filed by a San Francisco attorney who claims that trans fat -- the stuff that makes the chocolate cookies crisp and their filling creamy -- is so dangerous children shouldn't eat it.

I'd say the lawyer is a Nazi, except I know he's merely greedy.

The site is a laugh. I really gotta get me one of those DON'T PARTIALLY HYDROGENATE ME™ T-shirts that they sell.
Really! They're selling them! No, really! They are!

I wonder how this stuff affects type two diabetics and people with triglyceride problems and lipidemia. Certain cookies knock me flat on my back.

an injunction ordering Kraft Foods to desist from selling Nabisco Oreo Cookies to children in California,
"I'd like to buy an Oreo Cookie, please."
"How old are you, kid?"
"This many."
Pathetic.

All Nabisco (or any other really large company) should do is put an ad out for a hitman.
Make lawyers think twice. This is insane.

Let's go back to good old palm oil, tallow, and lard. Not a single trans fat in any of those.
I tried a tub of one of those "healthy" non trans fat margarines. Called Smart Balance or something like that. It's hardened with palm oil. It doesn't taste all that bad going down but the aftereffects are like that of having consumed axle grease.
