Hey, when a burning bush tells you to not eat pork or shellfish you better damn well not eat them.

You'd be hard pressed to buy a food ingredient or product with transfats in it over here.

Though I've no idea what the situation is with restaurant food/eating out.

Many food producers have taken trans fats out of their products. Labels will often say something like "Trans fats = 0" to stress the fact.

Yeah, I think this is an overall plus point.

Now they just need to be influenced to cut unnecessary sugar/salt and see if their products can stand on the merits of their 'natural' taste alone?
