*sticks nose in* I have to say that there is a difference in my mind between cigarettes, which contain a known addictive substance, and Oreos. I don't doubt that it is in a company's best interest to obfuscate the truth in the interest of profit, but I do believe in personal responsibility. I choose to eat Oreos only rarely because I know that they contain many empty calories and aren't good for the rear end. Kraft didn't tell me about the particulars of their product for me to make that decision. As I said in another reply, trans-fats are present in a lot more than Oreos, and somehow we've survived as a people. Any solid fat, including that trim on your steak, has a trans-fat in it, and that's the way it goes.
