I am mostly against the government trying to control how much salt I eat or how much or what kind of fat.
Same attitude about sugar.
but I would put hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats in a different category. The difference is not that these horrible things are more horrible than some others. It is that these are not really foods and it is fraudulent to claim they are.
the public mostly does not understand the distinction and some get riled up at the attempts to control it.
Can you remember all the hype about how good margerine made from corn oil is for you? The mistake, perhaps originally made honestly was that the margerine was the same as the oil. We now know better.
