I eat fast food every now and then. Primarily KFC, Del Taco, Taco Bell.

Well, I found out something yesterday.

KFC is being sued.

Why?

Because they use Trans Fats in the proces of making pretty much all of their food.

For those of you who don't know what trans fats are, they're the worst kind of fat, and are 99% of the time man-made through processes.

As an example of how bad these fats are, having just a 2% drop in how much you ingest in a day of these HALVES your risk of heart attack.

Having a 10% drop in saturated fat only drops your risk of heart attack by somewhere around 20-30% at most.

Trans fats are usually only found in cookies, meats, dairy, etc. but in small amounts (i.e., a cup of milk has like 0.1 grams of trans fat, and most people consume about 5 grams on a typical american diet daily, although of course any trans fat is bad).

Well, guess how much KFC's shit has? Six chicken strips? 4.5 grams. That's your whole fucking daily allottment right there, and that's guessing that you don't drink milk or any other dairy or cookies or no other fast food either, along with almost no other meats.

I figured KFC was just the only offender here. I looked up Taco Bell; A Chicken Quesadilla has 2.5 grams. A Spicy Chicken Burrito has 1.5 grams.

Del Taco, same thing. jesus christ.

So considering subway has 0.5 grams for a whole 6 incher, and quiznos, togos, and etc. actually don't even HAVE nutrition info, i'm kind of ehh eating anywhere else now.
