Do you think less trans fat makes the food healthier?

I think that trans fat foods are paticularly dangerous to our health, and chain restaurants are struggling to get it off the menu after New York City and Philadelphia required restaurants to phase it out by next year. Bills to restrict or ban trans fat in restaurants or school cafeterias have been introduced in at least 20 states, what are your thoughts?

It is great companies are looking our for our health, but we need to watch for what they will be replacing the trans fats with. Often that is worse than the trans fat.

thats true, to increase their company sales and profits they tend to replace it with other things which can some time be dangerous.

I think it's great people are paying attention to trans fats and avoiding them. Still, most processed foods and junk foods should be eliminated from the diet because they have more problems than just trans fats...saturated fat, sugar/corn syrup, salt, enriched flour, empty calories.

that true, but since government is getting a some revenue from these companies in the form taxes, they have not really bothered about it, and more eclogical balance is also been disturbed because of destruction of forest as a result of grazing of sheeps and cattle and in turn casusing global warming.

I would agree with you on that. Trans fat are very bad for you and I am glad there are less of that in more food nowadays.
