Of course, "zero grams trans fat" means APPROXIMATELY zero grams. You know, after they round it down.

Man, the FDA sucks some times.

It drives me crazy when I see that a product has partially hydrogenated oil in it, yet the label says 0 grams Trans Fat. Hmm...

I know, I am with you!!!

But the majority of Americans don't read labels, let alone ingredients. The thing that bugs me is that if restaurants were required to make nutritional information avialable, people could decide for themselves. Some would continue to eat it, of course, but those of us that care about our health could refuse to eat at restaurants that use trans fats. They would have to change or lose business.
