Answer to Question 1

Pro: Increases consumer awareness and ability to make better food choices. Many food manufacturers have changed food preparation and processing methods in order to decrease or eliminate trans fatty acids from many foods. Con: Food manufacturers are still allowed to label foods as trans fat-free if a serving has <0.5 g trans fatty acids, and list 0 g trans fat on its label and list shortening or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil on the Nutrition Facts label. This has caused enough concern that some cities have created trans fat-free zones.
