Yeah, we had a thread on trans-fats not too long ago that had posts about those naturally occurring in foods.

I wouldn't support a ban, even though theoretically a ban could cover trans-fats as a food additive without affecting naturally occurring ones, because that opens a big can of worms. I do support the mandated labeling, and increased public awareness will hopefully pressure products made with trans-fats more and more out of the marketplace.

Now I'm freaking out over the "movie style" microwave popcorn we have at home. My daughter has been eating this stuff frequently, and then I read the label. Holy cow. My father-in-law, who is on a diet due to cardiac problems, has been eating this stuff too. In fact, I think he bought it. I'm trying not to become a food nazi at my house, but come on...
