Holey Donuts!™ announces a major innovation in the donut industry with the introduction of Ultra Low Fat Gourmet Donuts. Holey Donuts! has a unique patent pending process that avoids deep frying and produces a great tasting donut with only 3 to 4 grams of fat, unlike the 15 to 20 grams of fat in other donuts.

It's psychological if one notices a difference between hydrogenated and regular oil. In 2002, McDonald's announced it would eventually move to a trans-fat-free oil. Instantly, McDonald's was barraged with thousands of complaints from consumers, claiming the fries tasted worse. There's only one problem with that claim: McDonald's didn't even change the oil yet; the people were complaining about the oil because they thought it was different, even though the oil was still the same. Read here: Why McDonald's Hasn't Cut the Fat This anomaly proves consumers taste what they want to taste. The human brain has a big influence on flavor. This is why most trans-fat flavor studies are misleading, because you don't know if the tester said something that might subconsciously influence the test results, such as, "Guess which one was fried in trans fat."

I think this is really great. The city health department is taking on the issues that ***kill*** the most people and that could be the easiest to fix. The issue of transfat is a no briner-- I'd be thrilled to se the calorie counts displayed in fast food restaurants. Sure they have that information now, as mandated by the FDA, but every time I ask for it they are "all out" of the brochures. (Isn't that odd??) This is going to save a lot of lives, and in a few years nobody will even remember the difference.

Leave transfats alone, let me get fat, let me get the strange kinda cancer, let me be happy with my food being tasty. At least NYC doesn't have those people that need to be trucked out of their homes when they die. Same with smoking, there is so many more things out there that are so much worse. Eh fuckem

from the post story: "City health officials say trans fats belong in the same category as food spoiled by poor refrigeration or rodent droppings." thank goodness we can pursue public policy without hyperbole.
