Cindy,

Isn't that a little besides the point?

I don't know where 3.5g of transfat has ever been established.

I know we've beaten this subject to death over the years but the FDA deemed
0.4g or less can be listed as 0g. Suppose everything you ate in the course
of a day all had 0.4g of transfat? You wouldn't ever know if you reached
the "as you say" 3.5g limit.

The 0.4g or less to "zero" is a reckless ****-up by the FDA!!!

Canada accounts for every 1/10g.

Best,

Andy
