My understanding is that no amount of trans fatty acid is healthy for
humans.  To be safe, manufactured TFA must be removed from foods.

That's my understanding, too, but removal of the stuff isn't happening  
fast enough for me.  Every time I go to BJ's (a wholesale food place like  
Costco/Sam's Club), I keep looking at frozen foods that would be great  
additions to a nice dinner.  However, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING,  
has transfats.  I rarely see a prepared product that does not have  
transfats.

This is an outrageous story. First, those "activists" forced McDonalds
to abandon beef tallow for transfats, because of concerns over
"saturated fat". Then, now, they are crusading against McD's use of
transfats, which were forced upon it by those same activists.

You are likely to find that the "activists" you deride for the Saturated
FAts and the "activists" you deride for Trans Fats are DIFFERENT
activists, not the same ones.

Fill in the blank ........

All those damned  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  are the same!

People don't have to eat anything they choose not to.
