    3271 Is trans-fat making you fat?

    No. Too many calories and too little exercise is making you fat. If New Yorkers don't reduce their calories will it make any difference if foods have only healthy fat? No. So why the war on trans-fat when it is behavior and not ingredients? Will it cause Americans to eat less? If the war on fat content of prepared foods and snacks a few years back is any indication, it will make us heavier. The tasteless texture of snack food with zero fat and more sugar didn't help anyone, did it? Has a worst textured and more disappointing morsel been created than fat free ice cream?

    Trans Fatty Acids accounted for about 2.5 percent of the calorie content of the U.S. diet prior to any changes prompted by the 2006 requirement for the inclusion of trans fat in nutrition labeling. Overconsumption will not be solved by getting this minor amount out of our diet.
