The usual suspects: Frequent trans fat offenders

You'd have to be living under a rock to have not heard all the controversy surrounding Trans Fats. Yeah, they're bad for you. Really bad. We get it. What would be more helpful would be if someone told us exactly what to avoid -- in short, what are the worst trans fat offenders? We know to check the labels on stuff at the grocery store, but what about when we're eating out or eating on the run and nutritional information isn't available?

Here's help from AOL. The frequent trans fat-rich foods are (drum roll, please), Nutrition Bars, microwave popcorn, salad dressing, cereal, baked goods (especially muffins), deli meats, margarine, shortening, oils and frozen entrees -- think chicken and fish fingers, frozen pizza, meat pies, waffles and even seemingly-healthy vegetarian meals.
