'Mystery Fat' a hit in Pennsylvania school

We all know that kids don't like "mystery meats" in school lunches -- just what is that piece of meat, anyway. But, I was surprised to read that some Pennsylvania kids like "mystery fats". After all, many kids have grown up eating trans fats in so man foods, what could be so good about a "mystery fat"?Well, it appears to be a secret ingredient derived from a plant-based fat substitute called Z Trim. That particular plant-based fat has been in the school's popular ranch dressing for months. Ah-ha -- a "quiet" introduction here.
This surprise substitution was designed to reduce the fat and calories students are getting when they load up their salads and chicken with it. The results? They actually like it.
