No More Trans Fat in KFC Chicken - Does it Matter?

It is official. KFC has eliminated the trans fat from their chicken as reported by Healthday.com

KFC restaurants announced Monday that all 5,500 of its U.S. outlets have stopped using artery-clogging trans fat to fry chicken, the Associated Press reported.

...I'm sorry did they say that KFC has "stopped using artery-clogging trans fat"? So KFC isn't going to clog your arteries?? The problem here isn't trans fat in KFC chicken, but the entire KFC menu. Trans fat is a hot issue and it has become a political agenda for some people. I'm not saying that we shouldn't get rid of trans fat but aren't there more important things from a big picture stand point? You know like getting crack off the streets.

Plus, this news story is a little misleading as the only prodcuts that aren't going to contain trans fat is the chicken

"...its non-fried items -- including pot pies, biscuits, macaroni and cheese, and some desserts -- still contain trans fat."
