I think we should be notified so the market can decide.

We don't want to go back to the turn of the 1900s where it was insane as to what was being put in foods.

Colored wax passed as chocholate, coal tar for coloring, opium to get people adicted to your food product. It was not a good time.

It is not as if there are substitutes for trans fats.

Lard. But that's backwards, transfats were the substitute for that.

I'm pretty sure that persisted into the early 70's in the Midwest, based on personal experience. ;)
