Now they're using some other sort of chemically-modified oil to
replace the trans-fat and there's some questions whether this
stuff is really any safer (I forget what they call it, but I've
seen it on a bunch of labels lately. It is of course an ADM
invention).

I say go back to tallow, too. At least it's all-natural and
trans-fat free.

The same people/groups who made us switch from beef tallow in the
80's to hydrogenated vegetable oils in the 90's are now the same
people telling us to ban hydrogenated vegetable oil too (and even
suing for it). I really wish they'd make up their minds,m those
damn hypocrites.
