The "partially hydrogenated" fats in particular is NOT particularly good for humans to consume in excess or exclusively in our diets!

I'm not shrinking but I have a few indulgences in my life that I'm going to
satisfy.

I don't own a full length mink coat
I don't drive a Bentley Mulsanne
I don't have a vacation home on the Riviera.

But I do treat myself to:

Whole milk
real butter
good cheeses
rich desserts when the opportunity arises
satellite radio in my car

Pretty sure there are many other indulgences but these come readily to mind..
