100 Calorie Packs – Death Treats
Well, the idiots at Nabisco have a new series of snacks to offer the world of unsuspecting eaters. Yes, they're banking on the “Oh, it only has a 100 calories – how bad can it be?” factor. They have links to 100 Healthy Living Tips and 100 ways to burn 100 calories on their site… good for them! But while the boxes claim to have “0g Trans Fat,” according to Ponzi, the ingredients list shows PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED oil. I'm not sure which lie to believe? Each cookie must contain trace elements of the man-made fat, which is more than I care to ingest. Shame on them.

If you don't like them, don't buy them, simple as that. But do not tell me what I should or should not eat. These packets might be the perfect way for a person who eats a full bag of something to lower the portions they take in and that is always a good thing.

The reason Nabisco can claim 0g trans fat but still have partially hydrogenated fat is that there's less than 1/2g per serving. The FDA rules say you can round down to 0g. They can't say “Trans Fat Free,” but they can say 0g trans fat. FDA rules, not Kraft lies.
