Trans fat doesnt grow in my garden or reside in my chickens nor my goat milk... well possibly in the goat milk, but it wasnt machine made.
Thus i dont need the government to save me from the wrenched scourge of trans fats and other forms of shit found in big corp food.

That said, depending on how far the gubmint takes this, yall might be drinking less milk.

But according to the OP, it's only artificial trans fats. So they aren't against trans fats after all.

I teach my students about this very topic when I bring up bond structures and isomerism. Milk is the most complex edible in terms of its fat content: the average cup of bovine milk contains hundreds of different types of fat molecules. In a cup of whole milk less than 3% of the total fat is transfat - this is far less than artificial additives. Realize that the term is referring to a particular isomer of fat that is not ordinarily found in nature - this is a serious issue to simply let pass since slightly alterations in structure of a molecule can often be lethal. Ask those born without limbs due to Thalidomide if we should precaution against untested isomers.

Chemically, there is no difference between synthetic and organic trans-fat if they're the same structure, but even the content in whole milk is insignificant compared to additives. That's why whole milk rarely has trans-fat labeled. It's usually far less than 0.1 g per serving.
