Yum yum eatum up

As reviewed at Gabesreview:

Ah, transfattyacids, that poor discriminated against of all the fatty acids. Has anyone else noticed the outright war food makers are waging on this poor mutant beast of modern creation. Sure it might increase your cholesterol, or give you a heart attack at the age of 45, but is that ol' transy's fault? In the beggining was lard, and it was good. The world rejoiced in its creaminess, and the way it could make any food (and I mean ANY!) taste not only good, but enjoyable. But man's food lust could not be satisfied. We needed "healthier" alternatives, without sacrificing the flavor. Lo and behold! vegetable oil was a great alternative and it only had one downside!!! Hurray! Wait, one down side? Go on. Well it seems vegetable oils tend to become, how you say, rancid. As in they rot quickly and that does not make for good eating, let me tell you.
It seems, though, if you hydroginate those suckers, they last a lot longer. Now we have a long lasting, lowfat, alternative to our true love of Lard. The Lord did grin, and the people did feast, unwittingly having released the beast that is the transfattyacid. Not only do they increase "bad" cholesteral, but "good" cholesteral as well. What's a man to do you ask? Boycott all foods with transfatt in it. Conversley, if you buy food that says "No Trans Fat!!" in little blurbs all over the box, it MUST be healthy. In fact they dont just cause health, they are the substance of health. Pure health in a box. Yet, remember to shed a tear for transfattyacids, it wasnt their fault, they were just made that way.

Quite and interesting wading through the evolvement and P.R. of transfatty foodstuffs.
As an aside, I wonder if soon some enterprising plastic surgeon will start offering to remove the transfats from his patient's ass fat, before injecting the then purified transfatty-less ass fat into the frown lines on their wizen faces.

Looking forward to what you'll write next.
