Artificial trans-fats is the problem. How about focusing on getting the labeling laws changed so they have to show the truth about trans fats. Right now, if there is .5 grams or less per serving they are allowed to label products as having 0 trans-fats. Of course if you eat a few servings or eat that product regularly, you are still getting a nice dosage of that garbage. I have to read labels very carefully.

There are just a few processed foods that my kids love that are tough to find without HFCS. At the top of their list is jellied commercial cranberry sauce (I know, I know -- I can see you all cringing!). I had stopped buying it altogether until last year, until I found it in several KFP brands, and in a local market's house brand.
