Trans fats are not saturated.

It's probably not as bad for you as fully hydrogenated fat (same as
saturated).

Yes, you overreacted -- it's not like he brought home a jar of rat poison

want peanut butter, I should buy peanut butter, and if I want sugar and
vegetable oil in it, I can put them there myself.
