| You know when I was traveling back to NL from Lima there were two american guys in front of me (going to Atlanta). They were pretty friendly and chatty, what made me smile was that they were actually complaining of how fatty Peruvian food was (this comming from two more than plump guys)...I could not help but tell them, errr as fatty as McDonalds, buerger king etc etc? THey said oh no of course not but we do not eat everyday at McDonalds...Ahh funny Americans... | |

Yes, every day would be bad. We get our over-the-top calorie intake in many hidden forms. For example, as long as everything in our cupboard has "low fat" stamped on the container, it's healthy, right?? Take those low-fat Oreos
As a matter of fact, here is the disclaimer from the oreo company for such low fat cookies....
Trans fat content currently is not listed on the label for many of our products. For FAQs about trans fat,
click here. We are rolling out trans fat labeling, so that all packages will be labeled by the FDA's deadline of January 1, 2006. In the meantime, we are providing this information for many of our products on our website. Where a product contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, the FDA requires that the content be listed in the package’s Nutrition Facts box as "0g". We use that same definition of "0g" on this website. When a label shows 0 grams trans fat per serving and lists a “partially hydrogenated” vegetable oil (such as soybean or cottonseed, among others) in the ingredients, the product may contain up to 0.49 grams of trans fat per serving. Keep in mind that ingredients and formulations change. The information shown here may vary from the content and label information of products currently in stores. For the most current information for these and other products, please
