Calgary Stampede bans trans fats

The big news in my neck of the woods is that the Calgary Stampede starts tomorrow -- it's a 10-day long fair of sorts that pretty much takes over the whole city with an array of pancake breakfasts, parties and middle-aged drunk executives in cowboy hats stumbling down the streets as early as noon. One thing that's synonomous with the Stampede is the food -- which is basically all deep-fried, covered in sugar or both, in typical carnival fashion.

But there will be something missing from the fair food this summer: trans fats. Some people are up in arms over it, proclaiming that their mini donuts just won't be the same without trans fats, but to them I say: Pffffft! Everything you eat is still going to be 75% fat, so what does it matter if it's saturated or trans? They're both going to kill you if you eat too much. It's a a healthy step that's intended to help us live better, so what are we complaining about?

What's your take -- can you taste the difference in trans-fat free stuff?
