“Partially hydrogenated oils are used extensively in the restaurant business because they have a long shelf life and are well suited for cooking crispy, crunchy foods, said Penny Kris-Etherton, a professor of nutritional sciences at Penn State University. Despite the versatility and pleasing taste of the oils, there is a broad scientific consensus that trans fats are unhealthy, contributing to high cholesterol and heart disease, Kris-Etherton said.” [http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-kfc14jun14,1,5346267.story?coll=la-headlines-business](http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-kfc14jun14,1,5346267.story?coll=la-headlines-business) OMG FRIED CHICKEN IS FATTY! I HAD NO IDEA! I’M SUING! It’s complete BS that they are attacking a single company to try and make a statement. If they feel that trans fats are a serious enough health risk that there needs to be further labeling in restaurants then they should try to get a law passed, not try to get the attention of the media and thus the public through a lawsuit against a single company. That’s exploitation of our legal system and it needs to stop. It’s not right. It’s not what our legal system is meant to do. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-just-in-kfc-bad-for-you/13290)._
