Time to make the almost-trans-fat-free donuts

Health

Dunkin' Donuts is the latest food chain banking on a new image by reducing trans fat. The donut maker will switch to a new cooking oil by mid-October. It won't be 100 percent trans-fat free but pretty close — it says any trans fat used will fall below half-a-gram per serving. A spokesman for the Center for Science in the Public Interest says "if Dunkin Donuts can do that, anyone can," but he points out, the donuts are still "mostly white flour, sugar and fat." But they're so tasty. . .

Next up: Baskin-Robbins ice cream plans to zap the bad fat by the first of the year.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
