(E&A) While trans fat-free junk food is still junk food, I suppose choosing less unhealthy items is better than making no changes at all. Michele Simon directs our attention to the larger social-political-nutritional picture:
"Trans fat is a politically safe target. To ban it doesn't rock anyone's world. Food manufactures and restaurants can find substitutes and keep on churning out slightly less unhealthy new versions of the same old junk food. KFC, Frito-Lay and Kraft can conduct business as usual. And the public won't change its eating habits, so all remains well in junk-food sales."
