Reading the headlines (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6058416.stm) and I see other countries are getting on the ball (Denmark has BANNED trans fats) and yet here in America, companies can not only sell food that contains trans fat, but if the serving size is small enough, they can list their product deceptively as 'trans fat free' (all with the good graces of the FDA.) Why?

Most of the world is starving and the last thing they have to worry about is trans fat.
