I started a "Hydgrogenated Oils Wall of Shame " as a permanent page for products that contain hydrogenated oils and that are especially appealing to my 4-year old. This will be an ongoing effort that I’ll update because every trip to the grocery store seems to turn up another wall of shame product.

My inspiration was the frequent articles about how food manufacturers have done a great job ridding their products of hydrogenated oils and trans fats and how cities including New York, Philadelphia and others to are requiring restaurants to prepare all foods without trans fat.

Nor do I buy into the lame way that products containing hydrogenated oils can state they are free of trans fats on their nutritional labels as I ranted about in my Girl Scout cookie post .
