How to lower cholesterol: Find someone to sue!

When will people stop?

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13 — A lawyer who says he has spent much of his life enjoying Oreo cookies has sued Kraft Foods Inc., seeking to ban the much-loved cookies in California because they contain trans fat, an ingredient he says is inedible and dangerous.

So that's what that was about. I just caught the end of something on the news about Oreo cookies the other day.
We need to put a stupidity clause in all food ingredient lists. If you're too stupid to realize this isn't good for you, the company can sue YOU!

NOT!!! I hope he ends up eating celery sticks all his life and hope he never tastes anything good ever again!

In his defense though, this whole transfat thing is fairly new. But still, wonder if he would drink a gallon of olive oil because it had no transfats.

Yeah that was my point. Fat is fat and if you eat too much of it it'll clog your arteries anyway. I mean, just because butter has less transfat than margarine doesn't mean you're gonna use twice as much if you switch no? But I guess if you eat a stick of margarine a day it doesn't really matter. (I know people like that)
