Fried foods should just be avoided, period. Ditto for anything inside a pastry shell. While at the grocery store today, I noticed a product called "tofutti," which billed itself as "better than cream cheese." Now I don't have any hangups about soy products in small amounts made from whole soybeans, not soy protein isolate. Reading the label of this supposedly healthful alternative to cream cheese, I was astonished to see listed as the second ingredient partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Tofutti is dressed up Crisco. It pays to read labels. Just because it's in the health food section doesn't mean it's healthy.

Though I still don't want the government to mandate it. Of course it partly the government fault the trans fats are there in the first place. Though glad the list came out before the holiday travel season, the main time I find myself eating a fast food meal or two. Hard to drive and eat salad or use a knife and fork. Maybe this year I will actually make something for the cooler. This is information that I would much rather have available than the calorie counts.
